Understanding GraphQL AI Friendliness
GraphQL and REST are two different API architectures that offer different approaches to communication between client and server. In the world of web development, understanding the fundamental differences between the two is crucial. One key aspect that sets these two paradigms apart is the way they handle URL paths.
In REST, URL paths are used to define the resources that the client wants to interact with. For example, if we have an endpoint called /users, it typically represents the collection of all users in the system. To access a specific user, we would append their unique identifier to the path, resulting in something such as /users/123.
