GraphQL
Web Development
GraphQL is a query language and runtime for APIs, originally developed by Facebook, that lets clients request exactly the data they need from a server in a single query rather than relying on multiple fixed REST endpoints. It is widely used by frontend and backend developers to build flexible, efficient APIs for web and mobile applications, reducing over-fetching and under-fetching of data. Popular implementations include Apollo Server and Relay for building and consuming GraphQL APIs.
