GraphQL | The query language for modern APIs

GraphQL is a query language and runtime for APIs that enables clients to request exactly the data they need and nothing more reducing over-fetching and improving application performance. Unlike traditional REST APIs GraphQL allows clients to specify which fields they want in the response making it ideal for mobile and bandwidth-constrained applications. The GraphQL specification is open-source and language-independent with implementations available for virtually all major programming languages. Major technology companies including Meta Netflix and Airbnb have adopted GraphQL for their APIs.
