What is GraphQL?

GraphQL is a query language for APIs that allows clients to request only the data they need. It provides a more efficient, powerful, and flexible alternative to traditional REST APIs.

Key Concepts

1. Schema defines the structure of the data available for queries. It includes types and queries.

2. Types define the shape of the data, such as String, Int, Float, Boolean, and custom object types.

3. Queries how clients request data. They specify what data is needed and in what shape.

Example:

query {
  sources_A {
    name
  }
}
