In this video, we’ll go over GraphQL at a high level, and learn about some of its more exciting features.
New Terms:
- Schema - A special kind of document that describes how a GraphQL endpoint can receive and send information
- Query Language - The syntax we use to write GraphQL queries that retrieve data from an endpoint
- Self-documenting API - An API that can be easily understood just by reading its schema -- no extra documentation needed
