Building Scalable APIs with GraphQL.
GraphQL: The Modern API Query Language
GraphQL provides a more efficient, powerful, and flexible alternative to REST.
query GetUser($id: ID!) {
user(id: $id) {
name
email
posts {
title
content
}
}
}
Advantages over REST
- No over-fetching or under-fetching
- Strongly typed schema
- Single endpoint for all operations
