Currently on the first request, a html page with html, javascript and embedded json is sent to the client.
Mobile clients (or any other JSON only clients) could send "Accept: application/json" in the request header to let the server know, that only json responses are needed (no browser-specific bloat ;) )

I think about a configurable bootstrapping for clients, but as a preliminary solution, this approach may be acceptable. If a certain HTTP is included in the initial request, only JSON would be returned instead of the initial HTML page.

With the introduction of client API this issue has been resolved.
