What is GraphQL?
GraphQL is a relatively new query language for APIs -- it's been around 5 years since it was open-sourced by the Facebook Engineering team and in that time it has become a front-end darling.
Unlike REST, GraphQL allows you to specify in your API requests specifically what data you need, and get back exactly that. This new approach opens up a world of possibilities for developers.
Benefits of GraphQL
- Good fit for complex systems and micro-services
- Ask for what you need, get exactly that
- Get many resources in a single request
- Describe what's possible with a type system
- Move faster with powerful developer tools
- Evolve your API without versions
- Autogenerating API documentation
- Bring your own data and code
- and more!
