APIs come in many flavors, each suited for different needs. SOAP, though reliable for enterprise apps, feels outdated with its XML complexity. RESTful APIs are still the go-to for simplicity and wide adoption, but they can suffer from over- or under-fetching data.
GraphQL is the modern favorite, perfect for getting exactly the data you need—great for front-end flexibility. gRPC shines in high-performance, microservices-heavy environments, while WebSockets handle real-time, low-latency communication brilliantly. Finally, Webhooks are ideal for event-driven applications with asynchronous needs.
In today’s world, GraphQL or RESTful APIs often dominate, but your choice should depend on your app’s specific requirements.

Bitcoin is built on a distributed digital record called a blockchain. As the name implies, blockchain is a linked body of data, made up of units called blocks that contain information about each and every transaction, including date and time, total value, buyer and seller, and a unique identifying code for each exchange. Entries are strung together in chronological order, creating a digital chain of blocks. “Once a block is added to the blockchain, it becomes accessible to anyone who wishes to view it, acting as a public ledger of cryptocurrency transactions,” says Stacey Harris, consultant for Pelicoin, a network of cryptocurrency ATMs. Blockchain is decentralized, which means it’s not controlled by any one organization. “It’s like a Google Doc that anyone can work on,” says Buchi Okoro, CEO and co-founder of African cryptocurrency exchange Quidax. “Nobody owns it, but anyone who has a link can contribute to it. And as different people update it, your copy also gets updated.”
At a time when the Indian stock market is peaking and has rallied immensely compared to global markets, there are companies that have not performed in the last 10 years. These are definitely a minor portion of the market considering there are hundreds of stocks that have turned multibagger since 2020. What went wrong with these stocks?
