JSON all the way
This document discusses building a new prototype for Reliefweb using JSON and JavaScript. It describes using Node.js with Express and Backbone on the backend to build a RESTful JSON API. For the frontend, it recommends using HTML5, jQuery Mobile, Backbone.js, and Jekyll for templates. It also discusses using Elasticsearch for full text search and document storage and Redis for caching. The document notes some challenges but emphasizes benefits of using JSON and JavaScript for performance, tools, and consistency across client and server.
