Relay: Detailed Overview & Metrics
Relay Runtime is a JavaScript framework for building data-driven React applications. It provides a declarative and efficient way to fetch and manage data from a GraphQL server. Relay Runtime optimizes data fetching by batching and caching requests, reducing the number of network round trips and improving performance. It also offers features like pagination, optimistic updates, and error handling out of the box.
Compared to other data-fetching libraries like Apollo Client, Relay Runtime is more tightly integrated with GraphQL and offers advanced optimizations for large-scale applications. It is actively maintained by Facebook and the GraphQL community, ensuring ongoing support and updates.
