GraphQL

• GraphQL

  • A query language(QL) for your API.

  • Get many resources in a single request.

  • Is this really graph theory related?

    • That is really depended on how you interpret :

      "A request determines the shape of its data response, and a data response can be used to easily construct its suitable request."

  • GraphQL vs REST

    • REST :

      • Get a data with full object.

      • In general, the url end point is mapping to one database table.

    • GraphQL :

      • Get a data with only necessary fields base on your definition.

        Data can be smaller.

      • Get data in one request for cross database tables.
