GraphQL
GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a server-side runtime that was developed by Facebook in 2012 and open-sourced in 2015. Unlike REST APIs, which rely on multiple endpoints, GraphQL uses a single endpoint and a strong type system to define the shape of data. This allows clients to avoid overfetching or underfetching by requesting only the fields and types they need.
GraphQL supports queries, mutations for updating data, and subscriptions for real-time updates, making it flexible for modern applications. Its schema-driven approach ensures predictable responses and better collaboration between frontend and backend teams.
Developers value GraphQL for reducing API complexity, improving efficiency, and enabling faster iteration without versioning. Widely adopted by companies like GitHub, Shopify, and Airbnb, GraphQL has become a standard for building scalable and efficient APIs.
