A typical REST API response is predictable, simple to cache, and easy to implement.However, REST APIs can lead to over-fetching data and multiple requests for related data, making it harder to evolve and manage versions.On the other hand, GraphQL minimizes over-fetching and allows for one request to fetch all required data, with a strongly typed schema.However, caching can be tricky and setting up a GraphQL server is more complex compared to REST.
