    GraphQL API in Magento 2

    0

    The new GraphQL API turns out to be one of the major moves in Magento 2.3, as written in our first blog post. Originally, GraphQL is a query language developed internally by Facebook in 2012 and has introduced a new era in web development since it was publicly released in 2015.

    Let’s explore the advantages of using GraphQL API over REST API and the current state of GraphQL API in Magento 2.

    Why GraphQL API?

    As you might know, GraphQL has become the main API to support PWA Studio functionality and other custom storefronts. Magento introduced a layer of GraphQL endpoints as a communication protocol with PWA based storefront since Magento 2.3.0.
