GraphQL is a query language and runtime for APIs, developed at Facebook and open-sourced in 2015. Clients describe the exact shape of the data they need in a single request, which replaces many REST endpoints with one typed schema. On websites it shows up through client libraries such as Apollo Client, urql and Relay, or through hosted gateways like Hasura and Shopify's Storefront API.
