" summary

GraphQL is described as a typed query language with introspection and fragments and it ships as production infrastructure powering native Newsfeed and thousands of app versions. It serves 260 billion requests per day, provides a JS reference implementation called GraphQL JS alongside the original PHP backend, and introduces Relay and an IDE called GraphiQL (released on npm). Claims include single-round-trip graph queries, server-backed field resolvers, and mutation fields that integrate with existing code.
