How would you go about creating a restful web service using Meteor. I would like to create apps in Appcelerator that hook into the same backend.
Can Meteor solve this problem?

Step #1 – Enter the URL of the API in the textbox of the tool. Step #2 – Select the HTTP method used for this API (GET, POST, PATCH, etc). Step #3 – Enter any headers if they are required in the Headers textbox. Step #4 – Pass the request body of the API in a key-value pair.
I did a full write-on on this in Meteorpedia:
http://www.meteorpedia.com/read/REST_API
The post reviews all 6 options for creating REST interfaces, from highest level (e.g. smart packages that handle everything for you) to lowest level (e.g. writing your own connectHandler).
Additionally the post covers when using a REST interface is the right or wrong thing to do in Meteor, references Meteor REST testing tools, and explains common pitfalls like CORS security issues.
