Hi, I did something similar during work (we are using Clojure) 1. Use HTTP as the transport: browser ajax call, mobile API call, intertal use 2. JSON as encoding. Javascript support it natively, mobile can decode it easily, Clojure has very good support for it
Clojure can decode and encode json*[1]* very efficiently. Nginx can be configured to zip the data to save bandwidth. http-kit*[2]* to do http very efficiently. Compojure[3] can be used to define the mapping cleanly. One API, used everywhere. I am currently writing a lein new template plugin, to setup the config automatically, kills boilerplate, I expect it to be ready in the next few days.
