If I were given the choice, I would choose Errai + REST over pure JS + REST. Try maintaining a 100,000+ line javascript app over multiple teams. Good luck!

Pete I think that Thomas is talking about the marshalling protocol used by Errai, you can use its own or one that is "jackson compatible".

I prefere the latter because I use JAX-RS services that produces JSON with Jackson.

Ciao.

Jackson is a marshalling library for XML and JSON. Errai is a framework for building apps that execute in the browser. I'm not sure you can replace one with the other.
