AI Insights

The graphql package provides a powerful query language and runtime that allows developers to construct APIs that can target any service. With its flexibility and strong community support, it's widely used for building efficient and type-safe APIs.

When to use

  • When you need to create a dynamic API that allows clients to specify their data requirements.
  • When working with multiple data sources and want to unify them under a single schema.
  • When leveraging the benefits of type safety and introspection in your API design.

When NOT to use

  • If your application requires simple REST APIs without the complexity of a query language.
  • When performance is critical and you cannot afford the overhead of the GraphQL layer.
  • If you're working with specific frameworks that do not integrate well with GraphQL.
