You raise a great point. The web frontends I write always draw views entirely through client-side js, and interact with the server mostly through JSON. The only HTML served is that to bootstrap the page, plus static assets (js & images). If you use server-side rendering, writing an HTTP API might indeed represent more work. And I'm in no position to say that client-rendering is better than server-rendering. Just added a clarification in this regard in the document. Thanks for bringing this point up.
