Today, we are making GraphQL the definitive API for Shopify. REST Admin API will be marked as legacy, and on April 1, 2025, all new apps submitted to the Shopify App Store will be required to use GraphQL.
There are no changes for existing apps, which can continue to use the Admin REST API.

As I’ve said before, web components are bad at a lot of things – Server-Side Rendering, accessibility, even interop in some cases. They’re good at plenty of things, but replacing all JavaScript frameworks is not one of them. Maybe we can check back in 10 years, but for now, there are still cases where React, Solid, Svelte, and friends shine and web components flounder.
