Not with Rails, afaik. Assuming the routes are consistent, you simply add a 'respond' for JSON and send the relevant chunk of the model. Easy as pie.

That assumes, of course, that the viewmodel used to render the server-side view is identical to the model you'd return serialized into JSON. That's mostly true, but not always.
