rewrite backbone.sync

Question

I'm using backbone.js with websockets and sending data to the server based on events.

Is it possible to design/rewrite Backbone.sync to transport model changes to the server in a normalized way?

Any general examples of this would be great, then I can figure out how to integrate it with my server-side methods.

Thanks!

I would start with the documentation and the annotated source for the Backbone.Sync function.

Then, see how the "local storage" module modifies Backbone.Sync to store locally instead of to the server as an example of overriding behavior.

Perhaps, this Stack Overflow Question will also help.

Backbone.Sync has very little code, and it's common to re-write it to work the way you need. I would start by reading the annotated code, and then there are several plugins that you can look at for examples of how to rewrite it yourself.
