  "description": "GraphQL is a query language and runtime for APIs developed by Facebook in 2012 and open-sourced in 2015. Unlike REST where the server defines fixed endpoints, GraphQL lets clients request exactly the data they need in a single request — no over-fetching or under-fetching. The specification is maintained by the GraphQL Foundation (part of the Linux Foundation). Key adopters include GitHub, Shopify, Airbnb, and PayPal.",
