  • Type System

  • Predictability

  • Efficiency

  • Docs & Tooling

Type System

Predictability

Explore your API โœจ

Efficiency

  • Overfetching

  • Underfecthing

โš ๏ธ Common issues in current APIs

Overfetching

Ask for what you need,
get exactly that ๐ŸŽ†

"Fetch more data
that the client
actually needs"

Overfetching

Save resources,
respond faster โšก๏ธ

Efficiency

๐Ÿคฉ Desktop ~ 100% ย 

๐Ÿ˜ง Mobile ~ 60%

๐Ÿ˜ฑ Watch ~ 20%

Reusability

๐Ÿ˜ƒ /desktop/launches

๐Ÿคจ /mobile/launches

๐Ÿ˜ค /watch/launches

Underfetching

Ask for nested resources,
get all of that ๐ŸŽ‡

"Fetch not enough data that the client
actually needs"

Underfetching

Handle data
in your ๐Ÿ“ฑ,
instead over the ๐ŸŒ!

REST

๐Ÿคฉ /launches - 1 HTTP/DB

๐Ÿ˜ง /rocket/:id - 'N' HTTP/DB
๐Ÿ˜ญ Client parse functions

GraphQL

๐Ÿ˜ƒ /graphql - 1 HTTP/'N' DB

๐Ÿ˜Ž No client parse functions
