In REST architecture, APIs expose their functionality as resources, which are any type of service, data, or object that a client can access. Every resource comes with its own unique URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) that a client can access by sending a request to the server.

So, whenever a client calls a RESTful API, the server will respond with a representation of the state of the queried resource. Many common REST implementations utilise the standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, and PATCH) to call a server.

In GraphQL, a set of information is seen in the context of a graph, just as the name suggests. Nodes, which are defined using the GraphQL schema system, represent objects. And edges represent the connection between nodes in the graph. This enables clear relationships between queries and increases the connectivity between objects.

GraphQL allows users to request data from several resources using a single request. Rather than making multiple requests to fetch data, you can use it to make ad-hoc queries to a single endpoint and access all the required data.
