It's a higher-level abstraction. With most traditional clients you call commands like `hget(key)`, `zinterstore(key1, key2, key3)` or `mset(key1, value1, key2, value2)`
Redback gives you the same power/flexibility but hides the complexity. You call `hash = redback.createHash(hash_key)` and then call something like `hash.set({key1:value1, key2: value2});`
It's more than just convenience though. I had a few goals with the library:
- Make Redis more accessible
- Create some useful derivative/hybrid structures (SocialGraph, etc.)
- Expose useful atomic constructs such as auto-incrementing keys
- Make it as easy as possible for users to create their own structures (e.g. see the Queue example in the README)
