Over the past years, REST has become the standard for designing web APIs. However, REST APIs have shown to be too inflexible to keep up with the rapidly changing requirements of the applications that access them.
GraphQL was developed to cope with the need for more flexibility and efficiency! It solves many of the shortcomings and inefficiencies that developers experience when interacting with REST APIs.
In this presentation, I’ll show you the most important difference between GraphQL and REST APIs plus a short live coding demo, to see how we can implement the GraphQL specification in Javascript, powered by Deno JS.
Feel free to join my session! It doesn't matter if you are a guru or still a novice in REST and GraphQL, Everyone is welcome!
It has been more than 8 years since Razvan developed his first website using wordpress. He then started to learn more about web development until he was paid for the skills.
His curiosity to learn made him study computer science at Babes-Bolyai University and take his first job as front-end developer. Along the way, he has built all kinds of applications, starting from basic websites to complex micro-frontend apps.
In his spare time, Razvan enjoys being with friends and family, learning about investing, taking dance classes and keeping up to date with the latest tech trends.
