GRAPHQL 144 N e w f e a t u r e W D W B WM WHY GRAPHQL? A good starting point is: what does the term "GRAPH" have to do with web service technology? It's simple; the information returned by the web service is linked together by a graph, not just a tree structure. What's the difference? A graph can cycle and return to its "parent". QL stands for Query Language. Benefit of this new feature in version 2026: A popular type of web service for data access 145 N e w f e a t u r e W D W B WM HOW DOES GRAPHQL WORK? In GraphQL,you make a single request to the web service,specifying all the data you wish to retrieve. The server returns all the data requested, in a structured form (as a graph) in JSON format. This offers a clear advantage, as you make one call instead of many. Performance is unmatched by any other type of web service Benefit of this new feature in version 2026: Less web server calls 146 N e w f e a t u r e W D W B WM REQUEST EXAMPLE A web service request could ask for: • A customer’s name • Email address • Last 10 orders, with details of products ordered With GraphQL, all these operations can be completed in a single call.
