What is the best web language / framework to use with REST API and JSON?

Question

I am going to create a web application and need some advice.

The basics of the application (without too much extra) will contain Javascript on the page sending various information to the REST server via JSON for storage in the database.

Is there any specific language or structure that works well with JSON and REST? I think speed is important.

Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

Most of the main ones will satisfy your requirements, so the main criteria should be: which language / framework are you most familiar with and most productive?

You can do REST in Perl, PHP, Python , Ruby, etc. - see this list for many examples supporting the REST framework
