Why use GraphQL for my API?

GraphQL reduces over-fetching and under-fetching of data, offers a robust type system, and simplifies versioning by allowing clients to query for specific fields and structures.

What tools can help me build a GraphQL API?

Popular GraphQL server libraries include Apollo Server, Express GraphQL, and Graphene for Python. They provide schema definitions, resolvers, and integration with various data sources.

How do I secure a GraphQL API?

Implement authentication and authorization in your resolvers, validate queries to prevent malicious requests (e.g., query depth limits), and use HTTPS to encrypt traffic.
