@darrel_miller @tourismgeek However IMO generating views on server is not recommended. View is a client-concern #CSDS

@darrel_miller and you are not alone. @stilkov thinks the same. But this violates REST's client-server constraint.

@aliostad @darrel_miller I disagree. You haven't explained why you think so yet.

@stilkov b/c view is a client concern. REST client-server: separation of concerns. #verbatim /cc @darrel_miller

@aliostad I understand your point now. I still disagree: (the right kind of) HTML is not view code, and HTML+CSS+JS offers a very nice SoC
