# GraphQL

GraphQL is a query language and runtime for APIs that enables clients to request exactly the data they need. It provides a complete description of data in APIs with a strongly typed schema.

## Key Concepts

- Schema definition (SDL)
- Queries and mutations
- Resolvers
- Type system
- Subscriptions (real-time)

## Common Use Cases

- Mobile app backends
- Microservices aggregation
- Flexible API consumers
- Real-time dashboards
- BFF (Backend for Frontend)

## Best Practices

- Design schema around UI needs
- Implement proper error handling
- Use DataLoader to prevent N+1
- Set up schema validation
- Implement caching strategies
