About

GraphQL is a graph-based, schema-based, SQL-like query language where

• queries
• returns a tree of data (json objects)
• that should match 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.

Components

GraphQL consists of:

• a type system (schema definition),
• query language and execution semantics,
• static validation,
• and type introspection (sort of Wsdl)
