GraphQL
A way for applications to request exactly the information they need from another system
What's it for?
Lets an application ask for exactly the information it needs in a single request.
For example…
The mobile app asks GraphQL for a user's name and open tickets only, skipping the rest of the bulky profile
A mobile app asks a GraphQL API for only a customer's name and current orders instead of downloading every field on both records
Think of it like…
Ordering from a buffet with a specific plate list, instead of taking every dish 'just in case'
