> GraphQL is far better than REST in almost every way

I hear this so often, but never do I hear more than one or one and a half ways that it is better. No one seems capable of explaining how it's "better in almost every way" without diverging to very specific examples with cutout problems.

You may be interested in checking out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhVGdErZuN4, where I talk about the benefits of Relay. This isn't (currently) possible without GraphQL, so it's a pretty compelling case for GraphQL.

But yeah, IMO, GraphQL doesn't justify itself unless you're using a client like Relay, with data masking and fragment colocation.
