I don't know much of other frameworks, but I can list why doing it in CakePHP is a snap
* Automatic rendering of json views depending on the accept headers including error pages * Automatic layout selections for ajax calls that return html * The CRUD plugin, a super simple yet extremely powerful plugin to help you build applications with nearly no code http://friendsofcake.com/crud/docs/ * Debugging tools like DebugKit, really help you looking at what's behind the scenes even on ajax requests * It helps you organize the code, other frameworks let you built the API basically anywhere. We encourage you to put the code where it belongs and keep stuff clean * Already made plugins for integrating with stuff like angular, ember or backbone js. * It has a yummy name :) On Monday, January 20, 2014 4:26:21 PM UTC+1, Sam wrote: > > Thank you for the reply.
