GraphQL Is the New Sexy
summary
Describes using GraphQL to reduce network load by letting clients request exact fields and combine multiple REST calls into one, with tooling examples GraphiQL/playground, Altair, and Postman. Covers implementation details like a Groovy generator that produces Java objects and practical problems: errors returning 200 OK with error details in the body, mutations needing named inputs, brittle Java clients, schema-parsing failures, and a partly reliable prototype client.
