GraphQL

An alternative to REST for clients that need flexible, precise data fetching.

Where This Fits

For platforms with complex, nested data and multiple client applications querying it differently, GraphQL lets each client ask for exactly the fields it needs. That is worth the added complexity on projects where REST's fixed responses become a real bottleneck.

How It's Typically Deployed

Implemented as an API microservice alongside or instead of REST endpoints, depending on what a given portal or platform needs.
