Understanding GraphQL
Adam Freeman · Apress eBooks · 2019
GraphQL is an end-to-end system for creating and consuming APIs, providing a more flexible alternative to using traditional RESTful web services, such as the one created in Chapter 23 . In this chapter, I explain how GraphQL services are defined and how queries are performed. In Chapter 25 , I demonstrate the different ways that a GraphQL API can be consumed by a React application. Table 24-1 puts GraphQL in context.
