title: Using Node.js to connect to a REST API
body: <p>Is it sensible to use Node.js to write a stand alone app that will connect two REST API's?</p>
  
  <p>One end will be a POS - Point of sale - system</p>
  
  <p>The other will be a hosted eCommerce platform</p>
  
  <p>There will be a minimal interface for configuration of the service. nothing more.</p>
