GraphQL
GraphQL is the acronym for Graph Querying Language.

Graph Querying Language
GraphQL is an open-source data query and manipulation language for APIs, and a runtime for fulfilling queries with existing data. GraphQL is not a language for communicating directly with a database but rather a language that defines a contract through which a client communicates with an API server. GraphQL was developed internally by Facebook in 2012 before being publicly released in 2015.
