Learning and Testing for GraphQL Vulnerabilities
Introduction
Graph Ql is a server-side query language that is implemented as an application programming interface. GraphQL is popular among developers because it provides features that make restAPi, another API option, unnecessary. Initially intended for Facebook’s internal use, the platform became open source in 2015. When the user knows exactly what they need, they can efficiently retrieve it, saving time and money. Because less data is being sent across the network, performance is enhanced.
GraphQl allows programmers to design a schema that specifies the data types and relationships that may be queried using the language. Because of this standardized method of querying between client and server, users may easily add new fields to the schema without breaking anything already in place. One query can replace numerous calls to access multiple resources at once. That GraphQL makes it easy to manage cache and group requests into a single query is the reason why it has become so popular. Users simply require effective query and mutation between them, therefore there’s no need to develop a new endpoint.
