GraphQL vs REST
Both are valid API paradigms with different strengths.
REST
- Resource-based URLs
- Multiple endpoints
- HTTP methods for operations
GraphQL
- Single endpoint
- Query exactly what you need
- Strongly typed schema
When to Choose
- REST: Simple CRUD, caching needs, wide adoption
- GraphQL: Complex queries, mobile apps, flexible data needs
Conclusion
Consider your team's expertise and project requirements.
