GraphQL API Guide 📚

GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. It provides a more efficient and powerful alternative to traditional REST APIs by allowing clients to request exactly the data they need.

Key Features ✅

• Flexible Data Fetching: Clients can specify the structure of the response.
• Single Endpoint: All operations are performed through one URL.
• Strong Typing: Schemas define the types of data available.
• Real-time Updates: Support for subscriptions (optional).

How to Get Started 🚀

1. Define a Schema: Use SDL (Schema Definition Language) to describe your data.
2. Create Resolvers: Implement logic to fetch data from your backend.
3. Send Queries: Use GET or POST requests to interact with the API.

Example Query 📝

query {
  user(id: "1") {
    name
    email
    posts {
      title
      content
    }
  }
}

Best Practices 🛠

• Always validate input to prevent errors.
• Use pagination for large datasets.
• Document your schema for clarity.
