GraphQL is a query language for APIs that allows flexible querying of data from a server. It was originally created by Facebook in 2012 and open sourced in 2015. Some key benefits of GraphQL include allowing apps to control the specific data received from servers instead of receiving all possible data like with REST APIs, and GraphQL queries mirroring the response structure. GraphQL schemas define query and mutation parameters as well as return data types.
