Not the one you asked, but I'm also stuck with supporting graphql in relatively small project. Zoomers invented SOAP. It's a perfect example of adopting what FAANGS do just for the sake of it. It's probably great when you have dozens of consumers with very different needs and usage patterns. But for the single frontend it adds way too much complexity on the server-side. Debugging, testing, writing tons of boilerate code, not to mention POST requests for getting data - everything becomes more complicated with 0 benefits
- alphabettsy 5y agoZoomers invented SOAP? Are we thinking of the same Zoomers? Same SOAP?
