GraphQL or REST?

• json-api

  59 7,310 4.9 CSS

  A specification for building JSON APIs

  

  Are you confusing it with the JSON-API spec? That's something completely different: https://jsonapi.org

• JSONAPI::Resources

  1 2,308 2.8 Ruby

  A resource-focused Rails library for developing JSON:API compliant servers.

  

  REST with https://github.com/cerebris/jsonapi-resources & https://github.com/twg/devour

• apollo-link-json-api

  1 24 0.0 TypeScript

  Use JSON API compliant APIs with GraphQL

  GraphQL has so many downsides and very little upside IMO. Apollo client is really nice though, so I'm tempted to give https://github.com/rsullivan00/apollo-link-json-api a try, but I haven't had an excuse yet.

• swagger-ui

  131 25,476 9.8 JavaScript

  Swagger UI is a collection of HTML, JavaScript, and CSS assets that dynamically generate beautiful documentation from a Swagger-compliant API.

  

  I'd agree with most here. If it's a single client accessing the API, why add the complexity of GraphQL? If it's because you want the documentation and user experience that GraphQL provides, looking into Swagger or another Open API solution may give you what you need.
