Not sure why you’re downvoted. You’re not wrong.

I say this as a member of my local GraphQL meetup group.

It solves a lot of interesting problems with APIs at scale.

But every time some hobbyist was like, “Is it worth it?” I constantly had to bite my tongue and shrug. It’s like teaching a whole new paradigm.

And even though I think GraphQL is superior, it’s a lot to understand and most people probably won’t give AF. Fetching JSON works just fine for 99% of use cases.
