Upgrade from REST for GraphQL #217

Closed bahiirwa closed 6 years ago

bahiirwa commented 6 years ago

Feature request. This could be future/planned. REST API is currently bloated with so much information one seldom needs and could be improved in speed relatively. I suggest running with GraphlQL.

Expected Behavior

Improved speed on API.
Query only information needed by user.

Possible Solution

This could be a start. https://github.com/wp-graphql/wp-graphql

We have the approach to discuss with the community and vote the features before open an issue for that. Check https://petitions.classicpress.net/ to follow our workflow :-)

Thanks. My bad. Let me check it out

Ideally, REST and GraphQL should both be implemented and available as plugins rather than being part of core. Let people chose what they want to (continue to) use rather dictating one or the other.

Summarizing my comment at https://petitions.classicpress.net/posts/72/upgrade-rest-to-graphql: there is a _fields parameter which satisfies the original need for this issue, and we are probably about 3 years too late to decide not to include the REST API.
