Developers like GraphQL for modern web applications because, in contrast to many REST and CRUD-oriented APIs, GraphQL allows for expressive queries, with features like filtering and scopes, ordering and aggregation, pagination, and relationship traversal to related records. A single query can retrieve many records, and even records of multiple types. Using fewer queries reduces the number of server requests required to load data, which can improve performance. A GraphQL query can specify precisely and only the fields required for a given component, reducing the amount of data that needs to be transmitted before a page can render.
