This repository contains the source code for the GraphQL website.
You can find more discussions on the #website channel on the GraphQL Discord.
GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. It provides:
- a complete and understandable description of the data in your API,
- support for powerful developer tooling, and
- precise querying, which offers several benefits:
- clients request only the data they need, improving efficiency;
- new fields and features can be added without impacting existing clients; and
- field-level usage can be tracked and monitored for insights and optimization.
The GraphQL Specification is open source and governed by the GraphQL Foundation.
