GraphQL is an open-source query language and runtime for developing API's. It was developed by Facebook and has become a popular choice for building modern web applications.

Advantages of GraphQL

One of the key advantages of GraphQL is that it gives developers the flexibility to request exactly the data they need. Unlike RESTful API's, which often retrieve too much or too little data, GraphQL allows developers to query only the data needed for a specific use case. This results in faster and more efficient applications. Another advantage of GraphQL is that it has a strongly typed system, making it easy to understand and maintain the structure of the data. Additionally, it also provides real-time functionality and support for data streaming, making it ideal for use in applications with a lot of changing data. At Humanoids, we often use GraphQL when developing modern web applications. Our developers have extensive experience using GraphQL in various projects and can customize it to meet the specific needs of each project. We particularly value the flexibility and efficiency of GraphQL and believe it is a valuable addition to our technology stack.
