Building a CI Web Project based on CodeIgniter REST API?

[eluser]imohammad[/eluser]
We want to build a REST API service (private use only) for our web and future mobile applications.

We will use Phil's CodeIgniter REST Server to build the API.

Also, we will be using CodeIgniter to build our web app and use the API.

So, we will have empty controllers and only load the views from it.

But I'm not entirely sure if thats a good approach?

Hope someone built a CI project based on REST API to help.

Thanks!
