Re: Interesting blog post: GraphQL and REST

Has anyone taken a gander at Netfix's Falcor (aka Flakor, JSON Graph)? It
seems similar to in concept to what GraphQL is trying to achieve:

The ideas are interesting. The idea of being able to request only the
properties you are interested in seems pretty great. This is the one thing
folks who are addicted to query languages miss the most when having to
shift to a course-grained web API. Everyone seems to want some way of being
able to get only the properties their application is interested in. I like
the thinking behind Falcor, but the thought of yet another JSON graph
representation is disappointing.
