REST APIs vs. GraphQL APIs

 

REST APIs vs. GraphQL APIs

==========================

Endpoints - REST uses multiple fixed endpoints; GraphQL uses one flexible endpoint.

Precision - REST can over-fetch or under-fetch; GraphQL returns exactly what you request.

Efficiency - REST needs multiple calls for related data; GraphQL fetches nested data in one query.

Versioning - REST often uses versioning; GraphQL evolves through schema updates without new versions
