you do still need to differentiate between the data as presented to the renderer, and the data storage format. For example, you may have a hierarchical UI that wants hierarchical data, but there's no reason you can't serialize that data to a relational data store.

depends. if you need to expose your data trough api your api will likely follow the relational model. it's then more convenient for the interpretation to happen in the presentation layer.
or, splitting hair, yeah if the ui needs some hierarchy rendered out of a flat table then the javascript controller should transform it before passing to the renderer.
depends where you place the cut at this point.
