I think that this approach makes sense. The current API is not roundtrip-efficient for multiple-item listings, but forms are usually related to a small number of items, so this should not be a problem. You didn't specify that the API must be used when rendering searchable content on the client side. The JSONCache is roundtrip-efficient for this purpose, and can also deliver identical data to client-side and server-side templates, so I think we should prefer it for now. If we want to use the API for client-side rendering of things like bug and branch listings, I think we will need to change the API to make it roundtrip-efficient, and find a way to ensure that identical data is presented to client-side and server-side renderers.
