Spletne storitve z GraphQL.

Web services with GraphQL.

Web services are of key importance when it comes to developing modern applications. They allow communication of the front- and back-end. Though new technologies are often developed, developers often choose to stick with the old ones for being more mature and providing more support and documentation. The most widely-used communication technologies today are REST and SOAP which have not changed in the past couple of years. In this paper, the GraphQL technology is presented as an answer to shortcomings of the current technologies. It is compared to REST as its main alternative. At the end, microservices are introduced as a modern way of developing applications. The concept of microservices is used as an efficient way of showing how the GraphQL technology can be used in a modern environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Spletne storitve so ključnega pomena za razvoj sodobnih aplikacij. Omogočajo komunikacijo čelnega in zalednega dela aplikacij. Čeprav se nove tehnologije pojavljajo dokaj pogosto, se razvijalci aplikacij pogosto oklepajo starejših tehnologij zaradi njihove dozorelosti in široke podpore. Najpogosteje uporabljeni tehnologiji za komunikacijo sta REST in SOAP, ki pa se nista spremenili že več let. V članku bomo predstavili tehnologijo GraphQL, ki je bila razvita kot odgovor na pomanjkljivosti trenutnih načinov komunikacije. Tehnologijo bomo primerjali s storitvami REST kot glavno alternativo in pokazali, na kakšen način odpravlja njene pomanjkljivosti. Na koncu se bomo dotaknili arhitekture mikrostoritev, ki predstavlja sodoben način razvoja aplikacij, ter predstavili uporabo GraphQL in arhitekture mikrostoritev v tandemu. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
