> Figuring out the syntax/language to do something as simple as retrieving the first X items requires more thought than calling a dead-simple REST endpoint. I'm obviously biased as one of the founders of OneGraph. There's a one-time cost of learning the syntax (which we're trying to make easier!), but once you've done that my experience is that it's easier to use a GraphQL endpoint from the backend than a REST endpoint. We used Facebook's GraphQL endpoint from a Clojure backend when I joined the Wit team after they were acquired. It was very handy to be able to look at the query and have a general idea of the data that was going to be returned rather than inspect a response or look up the docs.
