[Data Structures] REST vs GraphQL APIs
Problem Statement
Conceptual Challenge for REST vs GraphQL APIs under Data Structures:
Compare RESTful APIs with GraphQL endpoints. Highlight performance trade-offs.
Discuss the architectural implications.
Proposed Solution
REST utilizes fixed HTTP endpoint paths mapping to strict server response shapes. GraphQL uses a single dynamic path allowing the client to request precisely the payload fields needed, preventing over-fetching at the cost of caching complexity.Your Progress
