A RESTful stub,

so I can run my ajaxy goodness without needing a web server up. More importantly, have it run from standard definitions like jsonschema and URL mappings. Make the static version easy peasy config, and then let me extend the stub with JavaScript as it gets more complex.

Front end dev is splitting from backend dev - and there is a world of people who would kill for an industry wide means to define easily the expected behaviour of rest API / media types and so be confident that when the outsourced devs returned their work integration would not be a bightmare - expect your stub to be part of many SLAs

There are frameworks out there that do this (Jasmine) but if I wanted something, that's it

Edit: was even less clear than it is now
