Feature where you can write an endpoint to return whatever it is that you need. Granted, it’s not automatic as in some GraphQL frameworks - not sure if that’s what you meant by “arbitrary”. But then again, such things are a step beyond just using GraphQL as a protocol.
- htkibar 6y agoThe comparison would be; REST: Any time there is a new "view"; you need to go to your server and write a new endpoint. GraphQL: You can stitch data together however you want; as long as that data is defined. So for example if I need name of someone and the url of their children; querying it alone is enough with GraphQL whereas with REST either I need to fetch multiple times or write a new endpoint that serves both together.
