A Web API and Web Page all in one == recipe for failure for 90% of the time.

@tourismgeek A web page is a web api, it just happens to return a representation that has HTML payload ;-)

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

@aliostad Not surprisingly, I think it depends. For the applications I build, I like views to be a server concern.

@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

@stilkov i agree html not necrssarily view my problem is with render.

@aliostad It's just words. You could also talk about rendering XML or JSON :-)

Replying to @stilkov
@stilkov ok. Let me have a think about it. Yes, word is not the problem.
