" summary

Announces that GraphQL was built to power a native Newsfeed and now serves over 260 billion requests per day across more than a thousand active mobile app versions, with servers defined by a type system and field resolvers that call existing application code. Presents a working draft spec plus a JavaScript reference implementation intended for server and client tooling, shows concrete features (queries, field arguments, fragments, introspection, mutations) and claims it became Facebook’s primary mobile data layer.
