Introduction
Hasura DDN provides a JSON:API-compliant interface as an alternative to GraphQL for accessing your data. This implementation adheres to the JSON:API specification, offering a standardized REST-based approach to interact with your resources.
When you connect a source to Hasura DDN using a data connector and generate Hasura metadata, the source becomes accessible through both GraphQL and JSON:API interfaces. Your Hasura metadata lets you control how the data is exposed and interacted with across both APIs.
JSON:API endpoints are automatically generated from your data models, providing a seamless way to interact with your data without additional configuration. These endpoints use the same permission system as your GraphQL API, ensuring unified security across both interfaces. Hasura's optimization engine enhances performance, making queries efficient and scalable while maintaining a consistent experience. Since JSON:API support is built directly into Hasura DDN, it works out-of-the-box with your existing setup.
The JSON:API implementation in Hasura DDN is currently in alpha. While we aim to follow the JSON:API specification, some features may be incomplete or differ from the standard. Check the documentation for the latest supported features.
