Beyond REST with GraphQL in .Net core
summary
Claims that GraphQL solves REST over/under‑fetching and reduces round trips by letting clients request exact fields, implemented here on .NET Core with GraphQL.NET plus the ASP.NET transport and playground/GraphiQL UIs. A conference schema, object graph types, queries, mutations (persisting to the repository) and WebSocket subscriptions are shown working; mutations write to the demo DB. Downsides noted: single POST endpoint loses HTTP caching and status semantics, and server still issues DB queries so data loader batching/caching is needed but imperfect.
