Too Long; Didn't Read

GraphQL is a modern query language and a runtime for APIs, widely seen as a successor to REST APIs. It is built around the concept of "get exactly what you asked for", without any under fetching or over fetching of data. GraphQL makes it easier to aggregate data from multiple sources, and uses a type system to describe data rather than multiple endpoints. The attraction is primarily based on asking for what you need, and receiving just that - nothing more, nothing less. The GraphQL Landscape shows an aggregated GraphQL adoption table covering over 116k stars and a market cap of $4.7 trillion.
