Many apps request data that is managed by a database. The app sends its request to a server, which offers an API and handles the interaction with the database. GraphQL is a query language that the client uses to tell the server what it wants to get back.
Facebook (Meta) has developed GraphQL and has been using it for mobile apps since 2012. The aim is to have an efficient alternative to REST. While RESTful APIs offer multiple endpoints, GraphQL only uses one. In its message to the server, the client specifies precisely which data it wants to interact with.
In addition to suitability for mobile apps, the goals also include rapid development of new features in conjunction with continuous deployment.
Some larger companies use GraphQL for their APIs. These include Airbnb, Audi, Atlassian, GitHub, Twitter and others (see https://graphql.org/users/). GraphQL libraries for the client or server side exist for various programming languages such as Python, Javascript, Java, Kotlin, Go, Rust, C/C++ and others. -

Classroom training
- Do you prefer the classic training method? A course in one of our Training Centers, with a competent trainer and the direct exchange between all course participants? Then you should book one of our classroom training dates!

Hybrid training
- Hybrid training means that online participants can additionally attend a classroom course. The dynamics of a real seminar are maintained, and the online participants are able to benefit from that. Online participants of a hybrid course use a collaboration platform, such as WebEx Training Center or Saba Meeting. To do this, a PC with browser and Internet access is required, as well as a headset and ideally a Web cam. In the seminar room, we use specially developed and customized audio- and video-technologies. This makes sure that the communication between all persons involved works in a convenient and fault-free way.
