GraphQL

GraphQL is a way of designing APIs where the app asks for exactly the data it needs in a single request.

Why businesses use GraphQL

Complex products often need data from many places on one screen. GraphQL lets the interface request precisely those pieces at once, which reduces loading time and makes it easier to evolve the product without breaking existing apps.

How GraphQL works

The server publishes a schema describing all available data and how it connects. The app sends a query listing the fields it wants, such as a customer's name and their last three orders, and receives exactly that shape of data back.

What it's used for

01Apps with complex, connected data
02Serving web and mobile apps from one API
03Combining data from several services
04Public APIs for partners

Benefits

No over- or under-fetching of data
Fewer requests per screen
Self-documenting schema
Easier to evolve without versioning
