GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. It empowers clients to specify exactly what data they need, avoiding both over-fetching and under-fetching of information. This contrasts sharply with REST, where clients typically receive fixed data structures from multiple, distinct endpoints and often need to make several requests to gather all necessary information. While REST relies on unique URLs for each resource (e.g., /users, /products), GraphQL typically utilizes a single endpoint for all data interactions, where clients define the response shape. This fundamental difference provides clients with significant control over the data they receive, making it highly efficient for complex applications and evolving frontend needs.
