GraphQL is a query language for APIs, it is not a superset of MySql or PHP, GraphQL provides a complete description of the data in your API & it is runtime for fulfilling those queries for existing data.

It makes it easier to develop APIs over time and enables powerful developer tools. We can use GraphQL in the frontend as well as in the backend. we can express a description of data in GraphQL.
