A query language for your API
Typed, client-driven APIs: ask for exactly the data you need, one endpoint, strong tooling.
Facebook's 2015 query language: typed schemas, client-specified fields, one endpoint. Survived the hype cycle into a stable niche: GitHub, Shopify and federated platforms (Apollo, Hasura) keep it essential for complex, consumer-driven APIs.
Who it's for
API teams that want a typed query language so clients fetch exactly the data they need.
