pathom

Yeah you were mistaken, it's a full stack design. They recommend https://github.com/wilkerlucio/pathom for the connection. It's GraphQL done right, you write data "resolvers" on the backend, you declare very flexible graph queries on the front end -> this populates client DB and then fulcro uses that to render frontend. Highly recommend reading through this section: https://book.fulcrologic.com/#FullStack

A lot of Clojure libraries will be described as Clojure(Script) libraries which means they run on both Java and JS usually with no interface changes here are some examples: https://github.com/tonsky/datascript https://github.com/Engelberg/instaparse https://github.com/wilkerlucio/pathom Interop with hosts is a core feature of the language so it feels natural to reach for it when you need it and it's easy to write code that handles multiple runtimes but 95% of the time maybe more you don't need explicit runtime features

If you're looking for potential alternatives to REST and GraphQL, I suggest checking out how Fulcro [1] works together with Pathom [2] using EQL [3]. It's a data-driven full-stack application programming system centered around graph-based UI and data management implemented in Clojure [4]. While React lets you be declarative about your UI, Fulcro lets you be declarative about your entire system - both backend and frontend.
