About GraphQL

GraphQL is a query language for Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with the existing data. It provides a complete, understandable description of the data in the API, and it enables clients make specific requests and retrieve exactly what they need. GraphQL enables powerful development tools, and facilitates the evolution of APIs over time.
