title: Best Javascript framework for RESTful HTTP networking
body: <p>I am more of a backend guy, but frontend development really intrigues me as I make my first steps in seeing the browser as the environment for rich and awesome applications.</p>
  
  <p>What is the most suitable Javascript framework for working with a RESTful HTTP API, in other words, for retrieving (HTTP GET) and submitting (HTTP POST/PUT/DELETE) JSON representations of resources?</p>
  
  <p>I am looking for a framework (if it exists!) that provides good abstraction and encapsulation of HTTP request/response, handles cross-domain and cross-browser issues.</p>
