GraphQL vs REST: vybor API arhitektury

GraphQL i REST — dva podhoda k proektirovaniyu API. U kazhdogo est silnye storony.

REST: proverennyy vremenem

REST ispolzuet HTTP metody i URL dlya resursov:

GET /users/123GET /users/123/postsGET /users/123/posts/456/comments

Plyusy: Prostota, keshirovanie HTTP, shirokaya podderzhka.
Minusy: Over-fetching, under-fetching, mnozhestvo zaprosov.

GraphQL: gibkiy zapros

Odin endpoint, klient opredelyaet nuzhnye polya:

query {  user(id: 123) {    name    posts {      title      comments { text }    }  }}

Plyusy: Tochnyy zapros dannyh, strong typing, introspection.
Minusy: Slozhnost keshirovaniya, N+1 problema.
