Summary

GraphQL is a flexible and specific query language that allows developers to ask for exactly what they want in a single query, reducing the need for response parsing and additional tooling. The Contentful GraphQL API provides a strongly-typed schema, enabling applications to run faster with compact queries returning small responses. This flexibility benefits both developers and users, allowing organizations to work in a more agile way and quickly access content from multiple sources. To celebrate its general availability, Contentful has released a free-to-watch course teaching the basics of GraphQL and how to integrate it with React and the Contentful API.
