How does error handling differ between GraphQL and REST?

In REST, errors are typically communicated through HTTP status codes, while GraphQL uses a more structured approach with error objects in the response.

Can you give me an example of how an error is returned in GraphQL?

Sure! In GraphQL, if a query fails, the response might look like this: { "errors": [{ "message": "User not found" }] }.

What about REST? How would that look?

In REST, if a user is not found, you might receive a 404 status code with a message in the body like: { "error": "User not found" }.

Which approach do you think is better for error handling?

It depends on the use case. GraphQL provides more context with errors, while REST is simpler and relies on standard HTTP semantics.
