ENHANCING DATA QUERY EFFICIENCY WITH GRAPHQL APIS: A COMPARATIVE STUDY WITH RESTFUL WEB SERVICES
Keywords:
Application Programming Interface (API), GraphQL, RESTAbstract
A "stateless architecture design" is a kind of web architecture that, as a general rule, does not use databases to store any user data. Additionally, backup storage is not necessary for apps that match this category. Data in transit is the term used to describe information that is transmitted via a stateless service; nobody ever stores this data. It is not required that processing requests arriving at such an architecture depend on any data collected or saved from any previous session. Applications' data can be accessed using subroutines, definitions, and procedures that makeup what is known as an application programming interface (API). Applications communicate with each other through these points. Clients transmit all the required information to the server in each request, and stateless design makes API endpoint administration easier than traditional architecture. This is because the server side does not retain the client session. Two approaches that can be used in creating this API architecture are RESTful services and GraphQL. Learn the ins and outs of GraphQL and REST API architectural management in this comprehensive essay. Also included is an examination of the potential advantages of GraphQL over REST in planning stateless architectural APIs
