Intro

I just read about GraphQL and it’s quite good, very nice for the Flask API that I sometimes post here. This language will speed up the API by reducing the number of requests.

GraphQL

It’s basically a Query language for your api > there logo.

Well, with it you can speed-up the client and the server, faster than the REST approach way, especially that situation that you need to do subsequent queries on the same item.

You get only one request, instead of several – with a schema like this:

Example – with person: the original one was book (3:28)

type Person(id:27){

String name

String Address

}
