In GraphQL in Action, you’ll learn to use GraphQL to simplify interactions with your web servers and improve the performance of your data APIs. Twenty-year web development veteran Samer Buna starts by introducing GraphQL’s unique query-based API paradigm, laying out its unique design concepts and advantages over traditional APIs. From there, you’ll master the GraphQL way of creating APIs for hierarchical data, unlock easy ways to incorporate GraphQL into your existing codebase, and learn how to consume a GraphQL API with queries, mutations, and subscriptions using the GraphQL query language. When you’re done, you’ll have all the skills you need to get started writing and using scalable data APIs with GraphQL. GraphQL is a new paradigm. Are you ready?
