Nodejs REST API

[Markus Padourek]

Hey there,

I recently got started with the whole NodeJS environment  and now want to create a pure REST API (which is then consumed e.g. by a completely separated web interface using ember.js), from what I have been seeing https://github.com/jspears/mers seems like a good choice, but I read a lot of good things about derbyjs and while we certainly won't need realtime features for the 1.0 release, we might  want them for later on. So my question is, can derby be used for creating a REST API, or more does it make sense? And is it any better or worse than e.g. mers?
Tips and help is really appreciated.

IMHO It makes no sense to use derby for building REST API. You would be better off with Express.

take a look at sails.js

sails.js is pretty awesome.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Yes, I did start with sailsjs and it is pretty awesome.
