Testing GraphQL
GraphQL is a query language for APIs that was developed by Facebook. It provides a more efficient and flexible alternative to traditional REST APIs, which often require multiple requests to retrieve all the data that a client needs. With GraphQL, clients can specify exactly what data they need in a single request, and the server will return the requested data in a predictable and organized way. This allows for more efficient data transfer and reduces the amount of unnecessary data that is sent over the network. GraphQL is often used in modern web and mobile applications to improve performance and make it easier for developers to work with APIs.

It is important to note that there is a lot more that GraphQL can do than what is mentioned here since the main scope of this book is to provide a thorough overview of Karate testing. If you want to know more about GraphQL, please see the official documentation here: https://graphql.org.
