Howdy Everyone

I am building a pure JSON API in Ruby.   I have done this before using 
Sinatra, however, it was a very simple API.  And even then, I found myself 
missing or adding back several pieces of the Rails stack that I took for 
granted.  So, let me just say I am aware of that draw back for Sinatra.  

I have never used the Rails::API gem, but I have heard good things.  I 
would love to heard feedback from people who have experience with the 
Rails::API gem.  Has it worked well for you in this situation (JSON API) ? 
 Any big drawbacks or gotchas to watch out for ?  Also, I'd be interested 
in hearing alternatives to using Rails::API if anyone thinks there is 
something much better for this purpose.  

The reason I am not just using plain old Rails is that I will not be using 
the view layers or helpers at all and it seems a bit wasteful / overkill 
for a pure JSON API.

Thanks for your time!
