RESTful vs. GraphQL: Which One Should You Choose?
SMRTR summary
RESTful APIs and GraphQL are two popular API styles with distinct advantages. RESTful APIs use specific endpoints and are simpler to implement, making them ideal for small to medium-sized apps. GraphQL allows flexible queries to a single endpoint, providing exact data requested without over-fetching or under-fetching. It's better suited for complex apps with nested data relationships. The choice between them depends on project complexity, team expertise, and specific requirements like caching needs or data flexibility.
