State of GraphQL
The annual developer survey of the GraphQL ecosystem
Since being originally created at Facebook in September 2015, many developers have embraced GraphQL as a new and promising way to build APIs.
Yet a lot of questions still remain: when do you need GraphQL exactly? Should you hand-code your GraphQL API or generate it from your database? And will it ever replace REST?
The annual State of GraphQL developer survey aims to answer these questions, and many more!
