About GraphQL

GraphQL is like an à la carte menu for data - you request exactly what you want and the server returns only that. No wasted bandwidth on excess fields. That makes GraphQL an attractive choice for building fast, responsive applications, especially for mobile and web clients.

Unlike traditional REST APIs, where you may need multiple requests to assemble all required data, GraphQL lets you fetch everything in a single query and traverse relationships between resources in one go. It’s like having a GPS for your data - you go straight to what you need.

GraphQL is language-agnostic with implementations in JavaScript, Python, Go, Ruby, and more. It has quickly gained adoption among startups and major companies alike, and with a strong community and growing ecosystem of tools and libraries, GraphQL is likely here to stay.

GraphQL is often used together with
