GraphQL and RESTful services are approaches for designing API architectures in stateless systems. This paper compares GraphQL and REST for API management in stateless architectures. It discusses the benefits of GraphQL, including retrieving data from a single endpoint, resolving overfetching and underfetching issues, and using a schema definition language. The paper also outlines an experiment to retrieve social media post data using GraphQL queries.
With modern applications, data fetching is rapidly becoming one of the most important factors to consider. With the recent trend of ‘Server-less Programming’: Services, Frameworks,

A new approach to gather similar operations extracted from web servicesIJECEIAES
A web service is an autonomous software that exposes a set of features on the Internet, it is developed and published by providers and accessed by customers who discover it, select it, invoke and use it. Several research policies have been implemented such as searching through keywords, searching according to semantics and searching by estimating the similarity. A customer is looking for a service for the operations he/she carries out, hence the interest of guiding the search for services towards a search for operations: finding the desired operations amounts to finding the services. For this, groupings of similar operations would make it possible to obtain all the services that can meet the desired functionalities. The customer can then select, in this set the service or services according to its non-functional criteria. The paper presents a study of the similarity between operations. The proposed approach is validated through an experimental study conducted on web services belonging to various domains.

Three Dimensional Database: Artificial Intelligence to eCommerce Web service ...CSCJournals
A main objective of this paper is using artificial intelligence technique to web service agents and increase the efficiency of the agent communications. In recent years, web services have played a major role in computer applications. Web services are essential, as the design model of applications are dedicated to electronic businesses. This model aims to become one of the major formalisms for the design of distributed and cooperative applications in an open environment (the Internet). Current commercial and research-based efforts are reviewed and positioned within these two fields. A web service as a software system designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine interaction over a network. It has an interface described in a machine-process able format (specifically Web Services Description Language WSDL). Other systems interact with the web service in a manner prescribed by its description using SOAP messages, typically conveyed using HTTP with an XML serialization in conjunction with other Web-related standards. Particular attention is given to the application of AI techniques to the important issue of WS composition. Within the range of AI technologies considered, we focus on the work of the Semantic Web and Agent-based communities to provide web services with semantic descriptions and intelligent behavior and reasoning capabilities. Re-composition of web services is also considered and a number of adaptive agent approaches are introduced and implemented in publication domain with three dimensional databases and one of the areas of work is eCommerce.
The aim of this paper is to propose a modeling framework, tailored to build efficient, elastic and autonomous applications from tasks and services. It includes integrated services to develop the software products, reusing on demand in-house services with specific requirements and flexible the representational state transfer (REST) services. The idea is to decouple authorization for reduced service dependency and to provide a possibility for developing the whole application by increasing the existing application flexibility. Based on the fact that there are different web application platforms that serve to offer services to users but they are not integrated; we propose a framework with high flexibility degree, especially integrating the most used services such: e-learning, administrative, and library services, as University services are concern.

components via communication protocols typically over a network [2].The technologies like DCOM, RMI,
COBRA, Web Services etc. are developed using SOA, which contributed best to fulfill requirements to
some extent, but components result from these technologies are mostly either language specific or
platform specific,[3]. The services or components developed for one platform may not be able to

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN GRAPH-QL&
RESTFUL SERVICES IN API MANAGEMENT OF
STATELESS ARCHITECTURES
Mr.Sayan Guha and Mrs.Shreyasi Majumder
Data Architect, AI and Analytics Practice, Cognizant Technology Solutions, India
ABSTRACT
A stateless architecture design is a web architecture design that typically does not persist data in any
database and such applications also does not require any kind of backup storage. Data that flows through
a stateless service is data in transition and such data is never stored in any data store. The processing
requests that arrive to such architecture does not rely on information gathered or persisted from any
previous session. API (Application programming interface) which consists of subroutines, definitions &
procedures that can access data on the applications are the communication points between applications
and management of API endpoints using stateless architecture is less complex as there is no server side
retention of the client session and each client sends requisite information in each request to the server.
GraphQL and RESTful services are means of designing such API architecture. This paper discusses and
explains in detail both GraphQL and REST API architecture design and management methods and does an
analysis of the potential benefits of GraphQL over REST in Stateless architectural API designs.
KEYWORDS
API, RESTful, URI, GraphQL, Stateless, Schema Definition Language (SDL), HTTP, Mutation.
1. INTRODUCTION
Since inception of API based web services to aid seamless integration & data exchange across
applications on the foundations of stateless architecture, REST based API web services have been
the de-facto standard & preferred architectural style for design and management of the web
services.
Although there are scenarios, where performance of a web service API, tailored need of the data
consumer & ease of retrieval of data using one single API endpoint lays a strong underpinning for
using GRAPHQL as suitable alternative of REST for Web service computing.
In this paper, we aim to perform a comparative analysis of scenarios where GRAPHQL could
evolve as an alternative architectural style for API based stateless application architectures. We
aimed to infer based on observations with variable data volumes simulating an experiment with
social media posts. We have performed the experiment across many iterations and factoring the
complexities of number of API endpoints & increasing data volume in each iteration to depict the
behavioural response of both GRAPHQL & REST in terms of throughput. The results depict
potential benefits of GRAPHQL over REST & identifies areas of further research and
improvement with GRAPHQL based approachWe have organized the remainder of the paper as
follows. In Section 2, we discussed API management in stateless architecture as a brief
introduction to the context. In Section 3, related work has been discussed in REST based API
management scenarios along with the shortcomings and security vulnerabilities. In Section 4, we
aim to provide a concise introduction to GRAPHQL based API management approach along with

resolution to the conventional problems encountered in REST based approach. We aimed to
explain the supported types of GRAPHQL & its usage scenarios to facilitate an appreciative
understanding of GRAPHQL objects and ease the understanding of to the experiment in the
subsequent Section 5.
In Section 6, we present the performance evaluation results factoring the complexity of number
of API & increasing data volume and relative analysis of GRAPHQL Vs REST. We summarize
our work in Section 7.
2. API MANAGEMENT IN STATELESS ARCHITECTURE
MoussaTaifi et al (2016) [1] says the challenge of HPC (High Performance computing)
applications are required to be improved on the fronts of reliability and performance owing to the
existing difficulties for existing performance tuned APIs and provided a solution provided by
Stateless architecture at scale.
In a Stateless architecture, deploying APIs to multiple number of concurrent users and to multiple
servers is a good practice. Any server can handle any request as no session information is being
stored from previous sessions.
3. RELATED WORK
JacekKopecký et al (2016) [2] mentioned that the existing misuse HTTP protocols has paved the
way to RESTful services into the picture for effective API management. HTTP operations like
GET, PUT, POST, DELETE & PATCH are united under the umbrella of combined operations
under the name of “RESTfulness” adopting the acronym of REST invented by Roy Thomas
Fielding (2010) [3].
Roy Thomas Fielding (2010) [3] mentioned in his article that RESTful Web Services is a client-
server architectural style that provides a behavioural model for client applications and web
services. REST describes a number of design principles and constraints, such as stateless
communication and the use of uniform interfaces and self-descriptive messages applied in REST-
based services.
The services created in accordance to the style of REST architecture are typically referenced a
RESTful web services. The basic principle of a RESTful web service the exposure a set of
resources, i.e., any information source, uniquely identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier
(URI) and can be accessed through web. The below shows the working principle of RESTful
Web Service in API management.

3.1. Limitations of RESTful Services in Stateless Architecture
Below limitations exist while working with RESTful services in Stateless architectural
communications:
i. Incapability to heavyweight data transfer: According to FestimHalili et al (2018) [4] one of
the major drawbacks of RESTful Web Services lies in the incapability of handling heavy data
transfer. This inability actually makes REST services lightweight and rely on lightweight
data transfer over a common interface –the URL.
ii. Reliability on fixed data structures: REST relies on fixed data structures. In RESTful,
services making multiple calls to different REST endpoints is required and separate code to
transform & merge the data from each response is required before using them to render your
views. REST relies on the fixed data structures and iterative process to get the desired
response.
iii. Security challenges: API management done using REST has proven to be vulnerable to
security threats over the web. According to NishuPrasher (2018) [5] the possibilities of the
following security vulnerability possibilities in his thesis.

REST APIs are vulnerable to spoofing
of the valid transactions and the
attacker could replay one valid

GraphQL is an alternative and all new approach to interact with Web APIs. It is an open source
data manipulation and querying language for APIs. It is dynamic, single endpoint interactive
query based language to interact with APIs. Client systems using GraphQL can talk to the server
on exactly what they need, the queries are written to interact the web on exactly what is required -
nothing more or less.
As an alternative to conventional RESTful service, GraphQL developed by Facebook® in 2012 &
publicly released in 2015.
On 7 November 2018, Facebook® transferred the GraphQL project to the lately established
GraphQL Foundation, hosted by the non-profit Linux Foundation.
Olaf Hartig et al (2017) [6] in his conference paper explains GraphQL as new type of Web-based
data access interfaces that presents an alternative to the notion of REST-based interfaces & owing
to this advantages over REST, since its release GraphQL has gained significant momentum and
has been adopted by an increasing number of users.

4.1. GRAPHQL based API management – An alternative approach
Kristopher Sandoval (2017) [7] in his research blog discussed about the potential benefits of
using GraphQL. He also mentions that because GraphQL is extremely powerful, several
providers who need stable readability with quick speed and indexing have used it. Most of the use
cases for GraphQL are therefore those who require high data throughput with ease of sorting &
represented clearly by its highest profile users.
Data Fetching using Single Endpoint
Data Fetch using GraphQL is a paradigm shift compared to working with REST APIs. REST
APIs considered multiple specific endpoints to load the data. In GraphQL APIs typically a single
endpoint is exposed and which in turns out to be more flexible for the client system to decide
what data is actually needed. The below figure explains the difference of data fetch between
REST API and GRAPHQL APIs.
Figure 2: REST API Vs GraphQL API Source: Website, pinterest.com
Resolution to Underfetching&Overfetching
Overfetching means the API consumer downloads more information than actually required for his
custom need. In Rest API, the only way user obtains the data is by accessing multiple endpoints.
The Response might have additional information that the user requirement. This situation is
Overfetching.
Underfetching means API consumer downloads less information than actually required for his
custom need. In Rest API, the only way user obtains the data is by accessing multiple endpoints.
The Response might have less information that the user requirement. In this situation, the client
will make additional request until the retrieval of required information. This situation is
Underfetching.
In GraphQL client, obtain exactly the data they need from an API. The below figure explains a
sample GraphQL request query to fetch authors and relevant articles details in a single GraphQL
query. It does not require two separate endpoints.

Schema Definition Language (SDL)
Olaf Hartig et al (2019) [8] in his research paper has focussed on repurpose of schemas for graph
databases that are based on the Property Graph model based the Schema Definition Language
(SDL), originally meant as a language to define a so-called GraphQL schema that specifies
different types of objects that can be queried when accessing a particular Web API.
Therefore, the authors rearticulate definition of Schema Definition Language (SDL) from data
usage standpoint -GraphQL uses a schema to articulate the shape of the data graph. This schema
defines and describes a hierarchy of objects called types, populated from the backend database
storage.
Olaf Hartig et al (2018) [9] in his morning paper blog have put together many perspectives of
quantitative definition of GraphQL schemas. One of the most popularly used definition explains
GraphQL as edge-labelled multigraph where each node is associated with an object type and
comprising of dictionary of properties. Property keys derives their as field names from set F.
GraphQL schemas constructed over three sets: Fields (F), Arguments (A), and Types (T)
As per the authors GraphQL graph over (F, A, T) is a representation of a tuple
G = (N, E, τ, λ, r) where
• N is a set of nodes
• E is a set of edges of the form (u, f [α], v) where u, v € N, f € F and α is the partial mapping
from A to Values
• τ: N Oт is a function, which assigns a type to every node in the system.
• λ is a partial function that assigns a scalar value v € Values or a sequence [v1, v2...vn] of
scalar values where (vi € Values) of some pairs of the form (u, f [α]) where u € N, f € F and α
is the partial mapping from A to Values.
• r € N is the distinguished node called root node of the graph system.

5. EXPERIMENT SCENARIO: RETREIVE SOCIAL MEDIA POST DATA
As we discussed the shortcomings of data fetching using REST API based calls & categorically
tried to explain the ease with which GRAPHQL has brought a paradigm shift to the fetching of
user and related data from any website using typically a single endpoint. In the experiment, we
have aimed to bring forth the advantage of right fetching of the data that is required compared the
limitations of over fetching and underfetching using REST API based GET calls.
GRAPHQL Based Query Engine
Based on all the work that has been accomplished with GRAPHQL, we conceptualize
GRAPHQL query engine would work as per the below block diagram.
Figure 4: Conceptual GRAPHQL Query Execution Engine
• Schema is a tailored type language, which will return results back to the user. The user/client
will request any number of fields and GRAPHQL server will return only the fields expected.
• The query optimization parser once parses the values, validated to be good by the schema
validator,
• The resolvers proceeds towards processing the query & will return requisite data fields only.
In the process of performing the experiment we have studied previous work of
JobineshPurushothaman (2018) [10] on his complete guide to building a polyglot GraphQL
Server lays down a foundational understanding to use GraphQL to its best for retrieving Social
Media Posts.
Our work derives inspiration from the same where he has provided lightweight understanding in
his paper.
In addition to the above, we have studied the work of Sebastian Eschweiler (2018) [11] on his
lightweight approach by which a server can be implemented of its own and can be made ready to
execute queries to retrieve data from any website.

The authors hereby also draws attention to the work by Erik Wittern et al (2018) [12] y on the
best utilization of GRAPHQL to query of the API endpoints. They mentioned to have analysed
corpuses for common schema characteristics, naming conventions, and worst-case response sizes.
Authors have extended the same understanding with the above case study, evaluated the retrieval
time for the same API endpoint, and made a comparitive study with RESTful service based data
retrieval in terms of throughput time.
Extending the code shared already in Figure 4, we depict the retrieval of data by user query.

6. PERFORMANCE EVALUATION: REST VS GRAPHQL
Our work in evaluation of performance of REST Vs GRAPHQL is most closely related to
MatheusSeabra et al (2019) [13] who has done a deep performance comparison study between
REST and GRAPHQL in his conference paper.
MatheusSeabra et al (2019) [13] mentioned that through research of performance metrics of
response time and the average transfer rate between the requests, it was possible to deduce the
particularities of each architectural model in terms of performance metrics. We observed that
migrating to GraphQL resulted in an increase in performance in two-thirds of the tested
application.
Authors have carried out a Proof of Concept not by migrating from REST to GRAPHQL but
creating sample API endpoints for REST and GRAPHQL and tested the same in open source
playground and tested the throughput in terms of response time for data retrieval in 3 iterations
i. Iteration1: We carried out Iteration1 with a data volume of 1,000 data records through one
REST API and one GRAPHQL API endpoints.
ii. Iteration 2: We carried out Iteration1 with a data volume of 10,000 data records through two
REST API and one GRAPHQL API endpoints.
iii. Iteration 3: We carried out Iteration1 with a data volume of 100,000 data records through
three REST API and one GRAPHQL API endpoints.
Performance evaluation for REST and GRAPHQL in the experiment based on the complexity
definition assumed by the authors as combination of data volume and API endpoint weightage as
below

Performance evaluation in response time (throughput) is as below.
The results show:
Iteration 1: Approximately marginal or no difference when we considered one API endpoint for
both REST and GRAPHQL with the same volume of 1000 data records.
Iteration 2: 35percentage lesser response time using GRAPHQL where 10 times higher data
volume considered with respect to Iteration1 and our Iteration 2 was executed with 10000 data
records. In Iteration 2, we considered two API endpoints in REST compared to only one API
endpoint required in GRAPHQL.
Iteration 3: When we increase the volume of data 100 times to the initial volume and execute
Iteration 3 with 100,000 data records with three REST API endpoints being considered compared
to only one API endpoint as required GRAPHQL. The authors have observed an approximate
40% less response time required in the experiment results in GRAPHQL.

The authors therefore considers
• The single API endpoint utilization in GRAPHQL as one of the key factors to determine the
ease of availability of data as well as the response time with a constant data volume.
• High data volume experiment to check the relationship between the No of API Endpoints Vs
the Response time to conclude and understand the implications of high volumes vs number of
API endpoints. REST services produces low performance in response time compared to
GRAPHQL.
Authors therefore share one more observation with only two parameters No of API Endpoints &
Response Time in REST and GRAPHQL testing the performance with only 1 Iteration in this
case viz. 100,000 data records, which confirms the understanding of linear increase of REST in
response time compared to GRAPHQL as below.
Figure 10: No. API Endpoints Vs Response time relationship for a high volume
7. LIMITATIONS AND AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT
The authors have observed that the performance of GRAPHQL considerably increases compared
to the REST based API framework in situations where considerable data volume is considered.
Researchers plausibly considers REST as the defacto standard in APIs, which have very less
number of entities. The trade-off between the cost and architectural decision will favour REST
with success & ease of use in simple request-response architectural designs.
GRAPHQL on the other hand suits situations where data is required at scale, large number of
entities are involved, and expected growth of the data is manifold. The response time in such
cases with only one API interfaced for data retrieval makes is relatively better choice for selection
over REST.
In the experiment, with a gradual increasing data volume, we have captured the performance of
GRAPHQL relative to REST. Our results depict GRAPHQL capabilities of data retrieval are
considerably better in such situation.
We have not considered the caching implications of GRAPHQL, which could turn out to be
costly, in cases where we need to write tailored GRAPHQL queries & therefore cannot store
results cached from previous data operations. Our work lies within the boundaries of potential
benefits of GRAPHQL in response time where data volume is huge and number of entities are
large. The GRAPHQL based technology platform have limitations in single request–response
based interaction & caching capabilities These areas of improvement of GRAPHQL ,we consider
as subject to further research.

8. CONCLUSION
As studied, we have observed that GRAPHQL is increasing acceptability as preferred API
management technology where performance metrics of response time and utilization of lesser
number of API endpoints are key measuring criteria with high data volume. We acknowledge that
REST has become an industry standard for companies and API management using REST
endpoints have matured over period of time and GRAPHQL have a learning curve associated
with it and with improved tooling functions over a period of time in future applications of
GRAPHQL in fields like Business Intelligence will increase manifold.
Our work, we trust will motivate upcoming avenues of future research where performance, data
driven design and performance flexibility with lesser API interaction would take precedence.
