    Default GraphQL

    As mentioned in the most recent (22nd December 2022) FlexLinks, I have been having a poke at implementing a GraphQL API in DataFlex (see the article here).

    GraphQL has some significant advantages over REST, the most prominent being the ability to query or update complex (i.e. multi-table) data in a single request (take note @Clive Richmond! ).

    It is reasonably hard work so before I go any farther with it (and that article about sums up everything it does right now!), I just thought I'd ask: Is this something there is any real demand for?

    If it is I may (no promises! ) try to build it as a library similar to our REST library. If it isn't I'll just leave it, having learned some new things (always fun! )
