What is the best web language/framework to use wit

Question

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

The basics of the app (without giving too much away) is there will be some Javascript on a page sending back various information to a REST server through JSON to be stored in a database.

Is there any particular language or framework that works well with JSON and REST? I guess speed is important.

Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

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

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