Why 🧐

Explore your API ✨

Efficiency

⚠️ Common issues in current APIs

Ask for what you need,
get exactly that 🎆

"Fetch more data
that the client
actually needs"

Save resources,
respond faster ⚡️

Efficiency

🤩 Desktop ~ 100%  

😧 Mobile ~ 60%

😱 Watch ~ 20%

Reusability

😃 /desktop/launches

🤨 /mobile/launches

😤 /watch/launches

Ask for nested resources,
get all of that 🎇

"Fetch not enough data that the client
actually needs"

Handle data
in your 📱,
instead over the 🌐!

REST

🤩 /launches - 1 HTTP/DB

😧 /rocket/:id - 'N' HTTP/DB
😭 Client parse functions

GraphQL

😃 /graphql - 1 HTTP/'N' DB

😎 No client parse functions
