GraphQL over HTTP

GraphQL over HTTP is a way for clients (like apps or websites) to communicate with servers to request specific data. Instead of getting a fixed set of information, clients accurately specify what they need in a query. The server then processes this query and returns only the requested data, making data transfer more efficient. This interaction happens over the HTTP protocol, the same system used for web browsing. It streamlines data exchange by reducing unnecessary information and allows precise, flexible data retrieval in a standardized manner.
