We are working on providing services to mobile devices(Android, iOS and Windows). These services mostly return data and nothing OS or any programming language specific. We are currently planning on providing the service as a REST API since the clients can leverage the HTTP API provided by the OS but a co worker of mine is suggesting an rpc interface to get the data required. I am not sure if that is a good idea because it would need a lot more code than making simple calls to RESTful service. How can I convince him that using RPC is not a good idea?
