difference between XHR and Collection/DatabaseUser in Server Code

[Dongzhi Yang7528784]

Hi Team,

For server code, you have provided 2 ways of interacting with the database, using XHR and using Collection/ DatabaseUser objects.

Could you let me know the major differences between them? for example, in situations where I can use both, which one is more efficient , faster or resource friendly?
I'd like to know this because I want to build efficient code in server script

Thanks

Dongzhi

Hello Dongzhi,

Use XHR for all REST APIs;
Use Collection/DatabaseUser only for appery.io DB queries;

It is better to use Collection/DatabaseUser for working with appery.io DB.
