Web APIs Can Be a Pain
- JoeAltmaier 15y agoIts a database-query issue, always has been. HTTP is a terrible database query pipe. Too granular an API results in scores of HTTP requests, adding latency and bothering the app writer with details. Now EBay is proposing stored-procedures - surprise!
- joeyespo 15y agoWhat's interesting to me about your comment is that databases seem to be the pain of programming in general. Trying to shoehorn OOP into data schemas and vice versa, whether manually or via ORM, is in many cases rather unpleasant.
