ABSTRACT
Many organizations, including Facebook, Shopify, and Github are moving towards using GraphQL APIs instead of REST APIs. Companies are moving towards this new piece of technology because GraphQL enables its developers to do more in their applications with fewer calls to the API which lowers the number of requests that a web server needs to handle. This report will explore the implementation of a GraphQL API and its related technologies, such as the Apollo Client, to better understand how GraphQL works with other technologies.
