API Handlers

ZenStack supports two API styles: rpc and rest:

  • rpc style API directly mirrors Prisma client's API, thus provides endpoints like [model]/findMany, [model]/create, etc. Its input and output data format also aligns with that of Prisma client.

  • rest style API is designed to be more RESTful, thus provides endpoints like [model], [model]/[id], [model]/[id]/relationships/[relationship], etc. It uses JSON:API as its data format.

API handlers are framework-agnostic and deals with canonicalized request and response objects. It's the responsibility of the server adapters to translate the framework-specific request and response types. You can use either of these two API handlers with any server adapter.

The following diagram illustrates their relationships with server adapters.
