Kinda feels like 20 years ago called and wants its argument back, like have you seen any javascript ever?
565 KB + the logic to get the big one is miniscule today by any reasonable factor.
- scubbo 3y agoTrue, though ironic that also OP is implicitly making the argument for GraphQL-like interfaces ("just specify the data that you want returned" rather than "get all the data, then process it"), which are themselves the New Hotness in some areas.
- thekashifmalik 3y agoAt risk of sounding pedantic, REST also allows for "just specify the data that you want returned" style APIs. Something like: curl https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/api?fields=Date&order=USD&limit=1
- scubbo 3y agoA very fair point well-made!
