Both REST and GraphQL solve the problem of API design, but take different philosophical approaches.
REST APIs: REST follows resource-based architecture. Each URL represents a resource, and HTTP verbs define actions. For example:
The server determines what data to return, which can lead to over-fetching (getting more data than needed) or under-fetching (requiring multiple requests).
GraphQL APIs: GraphQL uses a single endpoint and a query language. Clients specify exactly what fields they want:
query {
user(id: 123) {
name
email
}
}Key Trade-offs:

Recommendation: Use REST for simple, well-defined APIs. Use GraphQL when you have complex data relationships or need to optimize for mobile/bandwidth-constrained clients.
