Build efficient APIs with flexible queries and strong typing
GraphQL is a query language for APIs that lets clients request exactly the data they need. Developed by Facebook, GraphQL solves REST's over-fetching and under-fetching problems with a single endpoint and flexible queries. Companies like GitHub, Shopify, and Netflix use GraphQL for efficient data fetching.
Request exactly what you need—GraphQL eliminates over-fetching and under-fetching.
Flexible Queries: Get exactly what you need
Single Endpoint: One URL for everything
Strong Typing: Schema-first development
Real-Time: Subscriptions built-in
Complexity: More complex than REST
Caching: HTTP caching doesn't work
Learning Curve: New concepts to learn
Mobile Apps: Efficient data fetching
Complex UIs: Nested data requirements
Microservices: Unified API gateway
Real-Time Apps: Subscriptions for live updates
GraphQL is typically paired with these technologies
