ANALYSIS OF GRAPHQL AND REST API IN INFORMATION RETRIEVAL OF ACADEMIC ENTITIES
Abstract
This paper analyzes performance differences between GraphQL and REST API’s information retreival of a current research information system. Data regarding academic entities has been taken from the Elsevier Scopus platform. Information system architecture is shown with deployment and component diagrams. In addition to recording the implementation of the GraphQL API, the present study also discusses the results of system response gathered during information retrieval of the given entities in both APIs.
