GraphQL Skill
Summary
GraphQL is a query language and runtime for APIs that enables clients to request exactly the data they need. It provides a strongly-typed schema, single endpoint architecture, and eliminates over-fetching/under-fetching problems common in REST APIs.
When to Use
- Building flexible APIs for multiple client types (web, mobile, IoT)
- Complex data requirements with nested relationships
- Mobile-first applications needing bandwidth efficiency
- Reducing API versioning complexity
- Real-time data with subscriptions
- Microservices aggregation and federation
- Developer experience with strong typing and introspection
Quick Start
