Migrating from REST to GraphQL

Migrating from REST to GraphQL is a training course on migrating from REST to GraphQL published by LinkedIn Online Academy. Migrating from a RESTful API architecture to GraphQL involves changing the way clients interact with the server to retrieve and manipulate data. Developed by Facebook, GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for executing those queries. Unlike REST, which relies on fixed endpoints for each resource, GraphQL allows clients to request exactly the data they need in a single query, resulting in more efficient data retrieval and flexibility. By carefully planning your migration, designing a robust schema, and gradually transitioning clients, you can successfully adopt GraphQL while maintaining service continuity.Leveraging the benefits of GraphQL, such as efficient data retrieval and a strongly typed schema, empowers your development teams to create more dynamic and responsive applications. In this training course, you will learn step-by-step how to migrate from REST to GraphQL. You will learn the basics of adding new data, common queries and their syntax, arguments, fragments and aliases. With the help of this course, you will be able to take the first step in learning GraphQL and be able to port your REST API to GraphQL efficiently and effectively.
