GraphQL is a tool that brings a paradigm shift in the way clients and servers interact with each other. While it is not a silver bullet by any means, it can definitely act as a sweet spot between the complete overhaul of the application and doing nothing at all.

In essence, GraphQL stands for Graph Query Language.

But don't let those words mislead you. GraphQL is not like SQL. While it may be dubbed as a query language, we don't query typical database tables directly using GraphQL.

GraphQL is more of a format or structure to define the contract between the client and the API server. Basically, you can think of GraphQL as a specification or a new API standard similar to REST.
