NARRATED BY CHRISTOPHER KENDRICK
Reduce bandwidth demands on your APIs by getting only the results you need - all in a single request! The GraphQL query language simplifies interactions with web servers, enabling smarter API queries that can hugely improve the efficiency of data requests. In GraphQL in Action, you'll learn how to bring those benefits to your own APIs, giving your clients the power to ask for exactly what they need from your server, no more, no less. Practical and example-driven, this book teaches everything you need to get started with GraphQL - from design principles and syntax right through to performance optimization.
