I see in this question that WCF Web API is still in preview and I've just started looking at OpenRasta.
Though OpenRasta looks more mature than WCF Web API, I'm still a bit confused. Or please suggest if there is any other better framework for building REST API on .NET stack.
Also, I observed that in OpenRasta aspx view containing HTML can also be rendered as a response (in ASP.NET MVC fashion) apart from other JSON/XML representations. So, is it that I can even (or it is recommended that I should) build a web application which will also serve as a service layer to 3rd party client developer using it? Or it is just for use as a service layer?
