GraphQL

About

GraphQL is a graph based query language for querying and retrieving a tree of data that perfectly matches a front-end view, regardless of where that data was pulled from.

GraphQL is intended to be a replacement for REST APIs and soap api

It covers:

• tree-based read-queries,
• mutations for updates
• and subscriptions for live updates.
