Convenient.
This is the approach that I use, along with ExtJS, which is now my favorite yummilicious JS library. It's far from pure REST, but I'm not advertising it as a REST service just using it Ajax <-> Controller. Plus C::REST abstracts out too many annoyances to not use it. Kudos to those who brought that to us. I did have to hack up my own (de)serializer (C::A::(De)Serialize::ExtXML) to create XML responses that jive with ExtJS's concepts, but it's working pretty well. -- Matthew W.
