I'm thinking about building an application with a RESTful web service. My thought is to build the RESTful (json, etc) part of the application as a standalone, and then the frontend (e.g. html/css/js/etc) as a client to that service, although not through js, I'd like the web page to work without js, so probably using something like LWP to make the calls. Basically the result is 2 separate apps. Is this a bad idea? good idea? I realize this is somewhat subjective.
