GraphQL
Designing flexible APIs that maximize data efficiency and streamline communication between client and server.
What is it?
GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. It provides a complete and understandable description of the data in your API, giving clients the power to ask for exactly what they need and nothing more.
What is it commonly used for?
We implement GraphQL to create flexible and efficient APIs. It eliminates common problems in traditional REST APIs, such as over-fetching or under-fetching data, which is especially important for mobile apps on slower networks.
How it helps in building modern apps?
GraphQL streamlines the interaction between frontend and backend. It allows for faster iteration on the frontend as developers can request new data without needing changes to the backend API structure.
