Use pedestal in usual http way request-response

Question

I'm newbie in pedestal, please advise.

AFAIK, pedestal is service + js application (browser based). Communication through keep alive connection (long), render on client side.

Is it possible to use pedestal in the usual web way - request-response? Can libraries like Hiccup or Enlive be used?

And is it possible to have iPhone application via PhoneGap? Maybe someone has had previous experience with this?

Thanks!

Yes it is possible to use Pedestal in Request/Respons applications. I highly recommend that you check the sample application provided by Pedestal.io team:

and Pedestal App Tutorial.
