I do not understand why you don't like REST ? It's been designed with the HTTP protocol simultaneously and it's how you should develop things for an API : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer...

You are not limited to 4 methods, there are only 4 methods of altering data (eg. CRUD (create, read, update and delete))? Recently, they introduced batch support (i could have used that 3 months ago though :P)

Errors? Return a standard HTTP Code :)

Knockout is optional, it's a template to start with. Want to do it yourself? Create an empty project, use one on Github/Codeplex, import an extensions with custom scaffolders (mvc scaffold) or go and create your own with T4 templates, i have done it myselve thanks to some info on Scott Hanselman's blog: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/ModifyingTheDefaultCodeGenerat...

PS. Kinda curious which API's you are referring to?
