Big +1 there.  We have just completed a large new feature set where the app
just exposes a REST-like API with clearly defined json responses and all
client side done in javascript (framework) by a separate team.  Front end
team documents the required requests and responses and tests are written.
 It has really improved the overall development process to have this clearly
defined separation.
