客户端与Rest-API进行通信的JS框架

Question

I'm looking for a lightweight js framework to implement client-side web-app that would communicate with server through rest api.

I thought about react.js - but my colleagues refused to use it due to lack of any templating. Angular.js is too big - my project will use only a couple of pages and lazy-load content + send some stuff over rest api.

Any ideas? What would you prefer?

Thank you for any help

AngularJS + Restangular for RESTful interaction is a breeze.

1. Config the Restular provider and set your base url for your endpoints:

app.config(['RestangularProvider',function(RestangularProvider) {

    RestangularProvider.setBaseUrl('https://api.yoursite.com/');

}]);

2. Inject Restangular into you controller and use it:

angular.module('my.controllers')
.controller('MyController', ['$scope', 'Restangular', function($scope, Restangular) {

    var user = Restangular.one('user', user_id);
    var info = user.one('info');
    info.get().then(function(res) {
        $scope.userInfo = res.data;
    });

}]);

3. Access userInfo in your view

<div ng-controller="MyController">
 <pre> {{userInfo | json}}</pre>
</div>
