title: Clojure REST API Frameworks
body: <p>I'm a <strong>Python</strong> developer taking the plunge into <strong>Clojure</strong> and decided that taking on a real project is they best way to get started (after learning syntax of course).  I decided to build a <strong>REST API</strong> for a project that I'm working on.  Things that are worth knowing:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>The database already exists.</li>
  <li>The schema is already defined, implemented, and filled with data.</li>
  <li>The web portion of the app is written in <strong>Django</strong>, which communicates directly with the DB.</li>
  <li>The database is <strong>MySQL</strong>.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>So my question is, what is the best framework for creating <strong>REST API</strong> in <strong>Clojure</strong> in late 2014?  I've so far come across <strong>Caribou</strong> and <strong>Liberator</strong>, but don't know how to evaluate which is better (being a <strong>Clojure</strong> noob).</p>
