JSFoo: round the year submissions

With the Internet now Mobile, the focus has shifted to build optimistic UIs, having high productivity and easy maintainability. Also the current API versioning and depreciation system makes life hard for frontend engineer. GraphQL fixes these problems by introducing a transparent transformation layer which decouples the client with the REST API system. GraphQL provides out of the box support for code schema, caching,to the point data retrieval etc., which significantly increases the performance of websites and reduces the turnaround time from backend. GraphQL moves the center of gravity of APIs towards the frontend, empowers frontend developers, and frees them from backend implementation details. In this talk, I will introduce the concept of graphQL, explain how it can make the life of a front-end developer easier, how to leverage graphQL to build blazingly fast websites.
