Explicit Loading vs Lazy Loading
Developers should use explicit loading when they need precise control over database queries to optimize application performance, especially in scenarios where related data is conditionally needed or to avoid the N+1 query problem meets developers should use lazy loading when building applications with large datasets, media-heavy content, or complex user interfaces to enhance performance and user experience. Here's our take.
Explicit Loading
Developers should use explicit loading when they need precise control over database queries to optimize application performance, especially in scenarios where related data is conditionally needed or to avoid the N+1 query problem
Explicit Loading
Nice PickDevelopers should use explicit loading when they need precise control over database queries to optimize application performance, especially in scenarios where related data is conditionally needed or to avoid the N+1 query problem
Pros
- +It is ideal for applications with complex data relationships where loading all data eagerly would be inefficient, or when lazy loading might cause performance issues due to multiple database calls
- +Related to: entity-framework, lazy-loading
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Lazy Loading
Developers should use lazy loading when building applications with large datasets, media-heavy content, or complex user interfaces to enhance performance and user experience
Pros
- +It is particularly useful in web development for loading images, videos, or JavaScript modules only when they become visible in the viewport, reducing bandwidth and speeding up page loads
- +Related to: code-splitting, dynamic-imports
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Explicit Loading if: You want it is ideal for applications with complex data relationships where loading all data eagerly would be inefficient, or when lazy loading might cause performance issues due to multiple database calls and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Lazy Loading if: You prioritize it is particularly useful in web development for loading images, videos, or javascript modules only when they become visible in the viewport, reducing bandwidth and speeding up page loads over what Explicit Loading offers.
Developers should use explicit loading when they need precise control over database queries to optimize application performance, especially in scenarios where related data is conditionally needed or to avoid the N+1 query problem
