GraphQL

GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. It gives clients the power to ask for exactly what they need and nothing more.

When to Use

• Mobile Apps: Minimize bandwidth by fetching only needed fields.
• Complex Systems: Fetching related data (User + Orders + Products) in a single request.
• Rapid Iteration: Frontend can change data requirements without Backend changes.

Quick Start

# The Schema
type User {
  id: ID!
  name: String!
  orders: [Order]
}
