GraphQL is a remote data access API that addresses issues like under-fetching and over-fetching that are inherent in most RESTful applications. It allows clients to specify the exact data they want – to “have it their way”. If you would like to learn more about GraphQL, I recommend checking out the tutorial at GraphQL.org.
GraphQL applications use a schema that acts as a description of the data provided by the server and as a contract between the client and server. Most GraphQL programming models require developers to dual-maintain their schema and the application code that supports it. MicroProfile GraphQL takes a “code first” approach which allows developers to write Java code using annotations to mark GraphQL schema elements, and then the MicroProfile GraphQL implementation generates the schema at runtime.
