•  GraphQL نیازمند رفت و برگشت‌های کمتری به server، به منظور بازیابی داده‌ها برای template یا view است. همراه با REST ما مجبور هستیم که چندیدن endpoint مثلا  (... api/students, api/courses, api/instructors ) را برای گرفتن همه داده‌های که برای template یا view نیاز داریم ملاقات کنیم؛ ولی این شرایط در GraphQL برقرار نیست. با GraphQL ما تنها یک query را ایجاد می‌کنیم که چندین تابع (resolver) را در سمت سرور فراخوانی می‌کند و همه داده‌ها را از منابع مختلفی، در یک درخواست برگشت می‌دهد. 

  

• همراه با REST، همانطور که Application ما رشد می‌کند، تعداد endpoint‌ها هم زیاد می‌شوند که این نیازمند زمان بیشتری برای نگهداری می‌باشد. اما با GraphQL ما تنها یک endpoint  داریم؛ همین! 
• با استفاده از GraphQL، ما هرگز به مشکل گرفتن داده‌هایی کم یا زیاد از منبع روبرو نخواهیم شد. به این خاطر است که ما query‌ها را با فیلد‌هایی که چیز‌هایی را که نیاز داریم، نشان می‌دهند، تعریف می‌کنیم. در این صورت ما همیشه چیز‌هایی را که درخواست داده‌ایم، دریافت می‌کنیم.
