Hi everyone,
I’m trying to decide between GraphQL and REST APIs for my mobile app and would love some insights. GraphQL offers flexibility by allowing clients to request only the needed data, but I’ve heard it can be complex to implement and cache efficiently. REST, on the other hand, is more widely used and simpler to set up but may lead to over-fetching or under-fetching of data.
For those who have worked on mobile apps, which approach has worked better for you in terms of performance and scalability? I’ve seen that some app development companies prefer one over the other depending on the project. What key factors should I consider before making a decision?
Looking forward to your thoughts!
