Overview

GraphQL is a query language and runtime for APIs. It provides a strongly-typed schema and allows clients to request exactly what data they need.

Why GraphQL?

  • Flexible Queries: Request only needed data.
  • Strongly Typed: Full schema validation.
  • Single Endpoint: One endpoint instead of many.
  • Real-time: Subscriptions for real-time updates.
  • Developer Experience: Excellent tooling and documentation.
