REST is a philosophy while GraphQL is a spec. There is no "REST spec", HTTP isn't REST.
- Zababa 5y agoBy "REST" I meant the way it's mostly used, so "REST API" to mean "HTTP API with maybe a notion of resources", since REST is the term people use to talk about these things.
- throw_m239339 5y agoREST is HATEOAS, as Roy Fielding said. "HTTP API" is something else, it's not REST. You can't just redefine words to suit your argument.
