About GraphQL

GraphQL is a query language and is a newer alternative to REST APIs. It allows clients to request only the exact fields they need and combine/next multiple types. This allows you to get most of the data you need within a single request instead of multiple large requests.

GraphQL mirrors JSON and is hierarchical allowing data to have nested fields and entities. For example, instead of having separate endpoints for getting a creator and getting episodes they have appeared on, you can get both sets of data within a single creator object.
