What is GraphQL?

GraphQL is a query language for your API that allows you to ask for exactly the data you need. With GraphQL, you can make a single request to the server, which then responds with the exact data you've requested, rather than a fixed set of data determined by the server in advance. This means you can make more targeted and efficient requests, saving bandwidth and reducing the number of round trips required to get the data you need.
