Plans to write RESTful API for mobile applications

Answer 1

Look towards Ruby and in particular Rails. There is a special gem (library) that allows you to use the framework exclusively as an API. Rails is RESTful by default, so this shouldn't be a problem.

Answer 2

I recommend C# + ServiceStack. You can host a service in an application, in IIS, Ngix, Apache - almost everywhere. The advantage will be a strongly typed language, smart ORMLite, ready-made clients for all mobile platforms and the ability to use Nuget. To quickly enter the topic, just look at the course .

Answer 3

Choose something that will be easy to maintain for yourself and others (if necessary):
For PHP .
For Java .
I pehape everything in terms of renting and setting up servers.

Answer 4

The question is rather strange and vague. the taste and color of markers are different. depends on your knowledge of the language. from myself I can say that php is easier to deploy. no extra settings on the host side are needed. while in the case of java and rails you will have to suffer a little. rails is great in its own way, though, between us, spring provides equally magical alternatives.
