1. REST APIs: The Universal Standard
REST remains the foundation of web APIs due to its simplicity, HTTP caching compatibility, and universal client support.
2. GraphQL: Solved Over-Fetching
GraphQL empowers frontend clients to request precisely the properties required for a component layout, avoiding massive JSON payloads.
3. gRPC: Ultra-Fast Microservice Communication
gRPC leverages HTTP/2 transport and Protocol Buffer binary serialization, making it 5x–10x faster than REST for internal microservice RPC calls.
