What people are saying

$resource is really cool, but a bit half-backed. I recommend you check out Restangular, it makes using $resource a lot easier. https://github.com/mgonto/restangular

I haven't used either, I have used only $http so far but I have observed two important differences: - Support for wrapped responses: ngResource expects that you return an array for GET, so you need to return [objects]. See https://github.com/mgonto/restangular#my-response-is-actuall... So, if you return something like `{meta: ..., data: [objects]}`, you are out of luck. Does anyone know a work around for ng-resource? I am using tastypie server-side which returns wrapped responses. - restangular uses promises for callback, so you can do foo.get().success(function (){}) just like $http, while ng-resource uses jquery like foo.get(function () {})
