GraphQL Simplified GraphQL hooks Workshop

GraphQL is faster than REST because as you can pick the fields you want to query, so the request will always be the smallest possible.Is GraphQL replacing rest? GraphQL is an alternative to REST for developing APIs, not a replacement. The main feature of GraphQL is to be able to send a query specifying only the information you need and get exactly that. And it is not difficult to implement. There are many JSON API libraries in many languages.Is GraphQL better than rest? With REST, you have to make three requests to different endpoints to fetch the required data. You're also overfetching since the endpoints return additional information that's not needed. In GraphQL on the other hand, you'd simply send a single query to the GraphQL server that includes the concrete data requirements.Is GraphQL stateless? GraphQL is often referred to as more efficient than REST because it allows clients to ask for multiple resources in one request, which saves round trips, and also allows clients to filter down to only the fields they actually need. ... And yes, it's stateless just like REST is.
