curl is used to send requests to APISIX for validation. You can also use easy tools such as Postman to interact with the API.
GraphQL is a powerful query language for APIs that allows developers to define the structure of the data they need from the server, and the server responds with only that data. This makes it much more efficient and flexible than traditional REST APIs, which often require multiple requests to retrieve the same data. However, managing GraphQL APIs can be complex and time-consuming, especially at scale. This is where an API Gateway comes in.

One of the key features of modern API Gateways such as Apache APISIX is its support for GraphQL APIs. APISIX makes it easy to manage and scale GraphQL APIs using its flexible configuration system and powerful plugins. One such plugin is the degrapghql plugin, which allows us to convert the GraphQL API into a REST API. In this post, we will explore this feature with an example.
