Why would one choose GraphQL over gRPC for a native iOS / Android app?
- masklinn 8y agoA composable and flexible RPC query format for the client and exploratory tooling. grpc is efficient, but it's the same rpc we've ever had with inflexible static calls and a bunch of roundtrips to do deep querying.
