Can you explain why do you want to get rid of reducers? What do you gain from it? Good luck with the social network. Seems like a tough job.

  With the spread (...foo) operator you can already merge json objects. However in order to use it you need to have access to the objects you make reference to. This is how it would work: In the front end (like in react-redux) you have your state variable and then you normally make a request to the backend, which the backend returns this "JSON2" object, which you can merge automatically (with JSON2.merge method) to create the new state, without requiring reducers. The only thing is that the back-end would need to be aware of how the front-end state structure looks like (it doesn't need to keep track of the current state though). // the front-end state let state = { some: "things", nested: { something: { what: "what", } }, other: [2,3] } // action is a string with JSON2 format that comes from a query to the back-end. Take the "..." literally let action = "{ ..., nested: { something: { ..., more: "manymore" } }, other: [1, ...] }" // create the new state state = JSON2.merge(state, action) // now state is: state = { some: "things", nested: { something: { what: "what", more: "manymore" } }, other: [1,2,3] }
