Why is this upvoted so much? It's a complete strawman. Facebook's own intro at https://facebook.github.io/react/blog/2015/05/01/graphql-introduction.html https://facebook.github.io/react/blog/2015/05/01/graphql-int... states: "There is actually much debate about what exactly REST is and is not. We wish to avoid such debates. We are interested in the typical attributes of systems that self-identify as REST, rather than systems which are formally REST." "We believe there are a number of weakness in typical REST systems" The author of this article is talking about REST in general, while Facebook specifically is talking about typical implementations of it.
