DrupalCon Dublin 2016: Advanced web services with JSON API

This talk explores the JSON API specification and its role in streamlining complex data requests while reducing communication overhead. The speaker demonstrates how to efficiently retrieve information such as cover images, publication years, and relationships among entities, all within a single HTTP request. Key challenges associated with traditional REST implementations, such as excessive requests and response bloat, are addressed, highlighting the advantages of adopting JSON API or GraphQL for decoupled applications. This session is particularly beneficial for those looking to enhance their Drupal projects with modern API practices.
