Stand-alone web application vs Api-driven application
<p>Which one of the two is better? Is it better to have a Web API and an application not connected to it or have a Web API that supplies the application with data?
I see that there might be delays when getting the data from the API instead of directly from the database, but using the API as main source of data for all clients change there will affect everything. Can you tell me pros and cons of each design?</p>
