Description
GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for executing those queries with your existing data. Created by Facebook, GraphQL offers increased flexibility by allowing clients to define the structure of response data. This makes developing applications based on multiple data sources more straightforward and reduces the amount of data that needs to be transferred over the network.
This GraphQL test evaluates candidates on their knowledge and understanding of building, validating and executing GraphQL queries. It also assesses their ability to define schemas and resolve functions. Other areas this test cover includes the use of GraphQL tools, such as GraphiQL, and understanding of how GraphQL deals with concurrency, error handling, and zero downtime migration.
Candidates who perform well on this test will have demonstrated their ability to effectively use GraphQL's powerful set of features to produce application-based solutions. Their understanding of how GraphQL can optimize data fetching will translate to applications that are efficient, flexible, and robust.
