What is GraphQL?

GraphQL is an open-source data query language for APIs. It enables users to specify what data they would like to retrieve from the server. More precisely, GraphQL performs three key tasks: it allows the clients to pick exactly what they want, uses a type system to describe data, and obtain data from multiple server resources in a single call.

Why GraphQL?

GraphQL lets you ask for what you want in a single query, saving bandwidth and reducing waterfall requests. It also helps minimize the payload by specifying the exact types and fields you want to return. One of the greatest things about GraphQL is it integrates seamlessly with the most modern JavaScript frameworks like NextJS, Gatsby, Angular, Nuxt (Vue).
