Chapter 8: Gatsby and GraphQL
In this chapter, we'll begin to bring content into Gatsby through GraphQL. GraphQL is a good starting point for learning about how Gatsby works, since Gatsby sources content using GraphQL.

These are the main topics that we will cover in this chapter:
- GraphQL in GatsbyJS
- GraphiQL, a GraphQL navigator
