GraphQL APIs for Web Hosting
Web Hosting GraphQL allows you to build an API that describes what data is available and how clients can request it. Clients can then request all the information they require in one request instead of multiple batches or requests being made, thus improving performance and security while consistent naming within GraphQL schemas makes it easier for clients to identify what they’re receiving, thus decreasing duplicate work that must be completed.
GraphQL is more efficient than REST because its responses generally return large volumes of data at once, or only provide part of it. Not only does GraphQL reduce network traffic but it can also ensure data integrity by only returning what is needed.
GraphQL supports mutations, which allow new or updated data to be sent directly to clients without impacting existing requests. Furthermore, its schemas and object types are strongly typed so any discrepancies between what was requested and provided are detected as errors and returned as such. Furthermore, progressive schema upgrades by default allow you to add fields or objects without breaking existing queries – something not found with other technologies, including REST.
