Top 23 API Builder Open-Source Projects

  • graphql

    • Project mention: Rails 7.1 Released | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-05

    My memory is fuzzy, but...

    1. all data flow through the rails app (no pre-signed s3 upload or download links for direct uploading).

    2. no support for CDNs (I think newer rails versions added support)

    3. blobs and attachments were unnecessary abstractions.

    3a. Querying was annoying and easy to add n+1 queries.

    3b. Images are moderated and it was unclear where to put the moderation metadata (on blobs? attachments? create a new table? why so many tables?). Accessing the data was annoying (you need extra joins).

    4. GraphQL gem didn't support it: https://github.com/rmosolgo/graphql-ruby/issues/1777

    • Project mention: What JSON Serializers are you using with rails ? | /r/rails | 2023-11-29

    Hi guys, I know that Hotwire is the sh*t in rails nowadays, but if you were to build an API with rails, which serializer would you use ? I have my eyes on jsonapi-serializer with oj , but I am not sure if that is the best option nowadays. The jsonapi-serializer repo is a bit confusing, regarding which version should I use, same for ActiveModelSerializer to be honest.
