Apollo Client is a powerful tool that simplifies state management and data synchronization in GraphQL-based front-end applications. By acting as a proxy for all incoming and outgoing network requests, it handles the responsibility of keeping interactions fast, APIs for common frontend problems, and tools for plugging in local state. The cache plays a crucial role in synchronizing server and client state, ensuring no unnecessary network requests are made. Apollo also offers various APIs to solve common frontend challenges, such as simple states, retries, polling, and more. Its extensible linker API allows users to extend its capabilities as needed, making it suitable for complex requirements. By using Apollo Client, developers can enjoy a better user experience, write simpler and more maintainable components, and become better web developers themselves.
