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 in React components. Relay-runtime is known for its ability to optimize data fetching by batching and caching requests, reducing unnecessary network traffic. It also offers features like pagination, optimistic updates, and mutation tracking, making it easier to handle complex data requirements in modern web applications.
Compared to other data-fetching libraries like Apollo Client, Relay-runtime is more tightly integrated with GraphQL and is optimized for use with GraphQL servers. It is actively maintained by Facebook and the community, ensuring ongoing support and updates.
