Owen, if you are up for it, I would love to see your tutorial on configuring and setting up BeAPI with some example that could showcase all key features such as automatic webhooks, chaining, etc for the noobs like myself :)

Your comparison did convince me that BeAPI is much more powerful than GraphQL. This makes me wonder why the hack people are so hyped about GraphQL over other API solutions that are far more omnipotent such as BeAPI.

Question:

  1. How does BeAPI communicates with database SQL query commands?
  2. Where do you define SQL query commands? For instance, you write the SQL commands in the schema inside the GraphQL query or mutation. What about BeAPI?
  3. Don’t you need to write your SQL commands in the chaining process? I am confused how BeAPI automates this. And if BeAPI automates it, wouldn’t there be limitations?
  4. Is there security concern in using BeAPI? Such as a way to hack the system to request and get the data which you aren’t supposed to?

The documentation is over here and that will answer most of your questions : http://orubel.github.io/Beapi-API-Framework/
For most of the rest of your answers, I’d suggest reading up on Grails and GORM.
I wouldn’t get hung up on ‘SQL queries’ as they…
