DrupalCon Baltimore 2017: Advanced Web Services with JSON API

This talk explores the benefits of using JSON API beyond its basic specifications, highlighting how it facilitates complex data requests and minimizes lengthy discussions about data structures. The speaker discusses practical applications, such as retrieving a cover image and publication year for albums by bands with members in Murcia, all within a single HTTP request. The session also addresses common challenges faced in traditional REST implementations, including excessive requests, response bloat, and API versioning, while comparing JSON API and GraphQL as solutions for building decoupled applications, particularly in Drupal projects.
