You can use the JavaScript SDK[1] to build a webapp companion quite easily. This is how we implemented the mobile webapp version of our Anypic app[2].

Parse also has a REST API[3] which can be used from your web application backend of choice.

Nice. Sounds like the REST way would be best, doesn't it? If you are using Rails at least.

Check out https://github.com/adelevie/parse-ruby-client and https://github.com/adelevie/parse_resource.

Also, with properly-configured ACLs, you should be fine using the JS SDK client-side with a Rails backend.
