GraphQL -- Flexible APIs for Adaptive Clients
summary
Claims that GraphQL lets clients ask one endpoint for exactly the fields they need and that a typed schema enables linting and introspection. Shows tooling: GraphiQL playground, client caching with Apollo, server libraries like graphene and hosted backends like graph cool. Demonstrates concrete examples: GitHub search returning the first 100 results, a mutation that posts "hello code mash" and appears on GitHub, and a CodeMash wrapper around an existing REST API running on Heroku that actually serves queries.
