Nested models in backbone.js

If I have a deeply-nested model graph, coming from the server (a lot of children objects, some of which arrays). Is it a good practice to turn each of the children of the object, into Models and Collections respective, when I turn the object into a Model? This will be handy because it will reduce the confusion of what should be called how. For example, it is much clearer to have something like that:

myModel.get("child1").get("collection1").get(0);

instead of:

myModel.get("child1").collection1[0];

On another side, it might turn into a performance hell if we are trying to convert these at runtime, especially if the object graph is really deep.

What is the best practice there?

You should use Backbone.relational to take care of it for you.
