AEM Content Fragments with GraphQL – Getting started with GraphQL

Introduction:

What is GraphQL?

GraphQL is a query language for APIs and provides a complete and understandable description of the data in your API.

For example:

Let’s consider an external system with following tables:

1 to 1 relationship between Company table with person table and 1 to 1 person table with awards table.

If I need get all awards You might be doing a call to

{domain}/api/awards

To get individual person and awards

{domain}/api/persons?personID{ID}&awards={ID}

To get individual company and person and awards

{domain}/api/company?companyNam={NAME}personID={ID}&awards={ID}

But in GraphQL you can send the parameters like a query and get all the related content as well

To use Graph QL you need to prepare schemas and based on schema you can do filter the data.

Benefits: • Avoiding iterative API requests as with REST, • Ensuring that delivery is limited to the specific requirements, • Allowing for bulk delivery of exactly what is needed for rendering as the response to a single API query.
