This blog presents a head-to-head showdown: GraphQL vs. REST, i.e., two leading API design architectures. Understanding GraphQL APIs GraphQL is a relatively new API design approach that Facebook developed. GraphQL provides powerful tools for exploring and understanding the API schema through introspection.

The common API protocols are: REST SOAP GraphQL RPC REST APIs The full form of REST is Representational State Transfer. GraphQL APIs GraphQL is not actually an API protocol rather it is a query language and runtime for APIs. GraphQL APIs use a single endpoint and a flexible query language with unlimited data schemas.

Some technologies may have better support for certain types of APIs, influencing decisions related to RESTful APIs, GraphQL, or other API styles. So, when developing an API strategy, you need to keep in mind the infrastructure you are working with, which will determine the choice of programming languages and development frameworks.

GraphQL: used for data APIs with more flexibility to query nested resource data in a single request. Rest APIs are used for resource-based data APIs that are easily understood for common platform usage. These resources are backed by a data model that helps derive relationships between various API resources exposed to a user.
