Do you have to create APIs and would like more flexibility and efficiency than you find in REST? Are you tired of creating a REST endpoint for every client use case? Wouldn't it be great to have the client query the data and business logic, and get it, without the hassle of dealing with endpoints? Or to allow the client to control the shape of the query response? While REST is mature and stable, it does have some inefficiencies and isn't always easy to deal with. GraphQL was developed with flexibility in mind so we can create efficient queries. In this session, you'll learn what GraphQL is and why you would use it. Then you'll learn how to build robust and flexible APIs with GraphQL in an ASP.NET Core solution.
