A talk given by James Neate from Capgemini UK at the 2019 Platform Summit in Stockholm.

As a UI developer, I’m often faced with both types of APIs, this session focuses on the implications of interacting with GraphQL and REST APIs whilst comparing the two from a consumer perspective including live demonstrations showcasing in real time the differences between the two approaches.
