Server-Side APIs

Nice Pick

Developers should learn Server-Side APIs to build modern applications where the frontend (e

Pros

• g
• Related to: rest-api, graphql

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Client Side APIs

Developers should learn Client Side APIs to build responsive, feature-rich web applications that leverage browser capabilities directly, improving performance and user experience

Pros

• They are crucial for tasks like manipulating web page content (DOM API), storing data locally (Web Storage API), accessing device features (Geolocation API), and handling asynchronous operations (Fetch API)
• Related to: javascript, dom-manipulation

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Server-Side APIs if: You want g and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Client Side APIs if: You prioritize they are crucial for tasks like manipulating web page content (dom api), storing data locally (web storage api), accessing device features (geolocation api), and handling asynchronous operations (fetch api) over what Server-Side APIs offers.

The Bottom Line

Server-Side APIs wins

Developers should learn Server-Side APIs to build modern applications where the frontend (e
