What is Over-Fetching?
- Over-fetching in GraphQL refers to the scenario where a client receives more data than it needs.
- Typically, it occurs when a GraphQL query requests a certain resource but receives additional fields or nested objects along with the requested data.
- Over-fetching can lead to increased network traffic, longer response times, and unnecessary data processing on the client side.
What Are Over-Fetching and Under-Fetching?
Fetching data in GraphQL is a fundamental concept that involves retrieving information from a server or database. Unlike traditional REST APIs, GraphQL allows clients to request only the specific data they need, minimizing over–fetching and under–fetching.
