GraphQL: Towards a universal query language | JSConf EU 2019

From its friendly developer experience to its performance benefits,
a lot has been said about GraphQL. Underlying it all is the GraphQL
query language, made possible by GraphQL schema language. These
surprisingly versatile features have the potential to provide a
single interface for all modern web app development concerns. We
will start with a case study on how we use GraphQL queries as an
universal interface to resolve data over a variety of datasources
ranging from remote HTTP requests, to local CSV files, and
in-memory data stores. Next we will explore these ideas further,
using GraphQL queries as an interface over the DOM and various
other web APIs.
