"When we built Facebook's mobile applications, we needed a data-fetching API powerful enough to describe all of Facebook, yet simple enough to be easy to learn and use by our product developers. We developed GraphQL (https://code.facebook.com/posts/1691455094417024/graphql-a-data-query-language/) three years ago to fill this need." Facebook
