Talk: Getting a Grip on GraphQL

June 14, 2018 by Annyce Davis

GraphQL is a query language for your API. This allows you to interact with your existing web services and databases in a new way. Instead of relying on a predetermined output structure from your API, you can “query” it and choose only the fields that you’re interested in.

A few key GraphQL terms we’ll cover are:
