GraphQL
A query language for APIs that returns exactly the requested fields in a single request.
GraphQL is a query language and runtime for APIs developed by Facebook (now Meta), enabling clients to request exactly the data they need in a single request. GraphQL APIs expose a single endpoint with a typed schema; clients send queries specifying fields. Benefits over REST: no over-fetching or under-fetching, strong typing, better mobile performance, schema-driven tooling. Major GraphQL servers include Apollo Server, Hasura, GraphQL Yoga. Empire325 implements GraphQL APIs for content-heavy applications and headless commerce projects where typed schemas and field-level requests significantly improve developer experience.
