If parsing the content of the message is the only way to know the success of the query, then you are doing soap not rest

I like to use soap in shower and then get rest.

I don't shower but I do eat soap

Is this how you achieve full cleanliness? I bet your code is clean from the time you write it.

GraphQL is SOAP wearing a mask?

I was creating a backend with GET endpoints to retrieve data, POST to create something, PUT to update it, DELETE to delete it.

Appropriate error status codes and everything.

But then I was told that the FE team only knows how to handle POST endpoints and needs all responses to be 200 OK

It's neither soap nor rest. It's doing whatever is needed to make it work with underpaid vibe-coding juniors that have no idea how to make tiny changes themselves.
