Query language for APIs (originally from Facebook) that lets clients specify the exact shape of the response they need, avoiding over- and under-fetching. Maintained as an open standard under the GraphQL Foundation (Linux Foundation); the specification is published at spec.graphql.org.
Listed among the web-compatible standards adopted for data exchange at Flexo interfaces (Architecture). Complements [[SPARQL]] by offering a more familiar query interface for frontend and integration tooling that doesn't need full RDF query capabilities.
