REST suits public-facing APIs needing broad compatibility with OpenAPI. GraphQL excels for complex front-ends with evolving queries, while tRPC delivers end-to-end types for internal TypeScript monorepos. Your API style choice depends on data needs and client diversity.
Use GraphQL over REST for API design when your front-ends require complex, evolving queries and flexible data fetching. REST remains preferable for public-facing APIs requiring broad compatibility, standardized response formats, and straightforward versioning strategies.
tRPC works best for internal TypeScript monorepos where end-to-end type safety is prioritized over broad client compatibility. For public-facing API design, REST with OpenAPI is recommended to ensure diverse clients can easily consume your endpoints.
The best way to version a REST API involves aligning the strategy with your maintenance goals and existing tech stack. Effective API design specifies contexts for versioning, response formats, and pagination to ensure backward compatibility and smooth evolution.
Common pitfalls when implementing API pagination include ignoring client capabilities and misaligning with your chosen API style. Proper API design delivers implementation-ready guidance, validating pagination approaches against potential edge cases and maintenance constraints.
