This article is the second in a series exploring HTTP frameworks for Scala, focusing on two key frameworks: Sangria for GraphQL and the Play Framework for REST APIs. Aimed at developers looking to implement a minimal API for book listings, the article discusses the integration of these frameworks with Scala effect libraries. Sangria stands out for its type safety and declarative schema definitions, while the Play Framework excels in RESTful API development. The article compares these frameworks to those mentioned previously, providing insight into their application contexts and developer experience.
Sangria GraphQL offers a robust implementation for Scala, enabling developers to create expressive and efficient GraphQL APIs while leveraging Scala's type system and functional programming principles.
The Play Framework provides a powerful REST API solution, allowing for easy integration with Scala's effect libraries like Cats Effect, enhancing developers' productivity and experience.
