GitLab GraphQL API
GraphQL is a query language for APIs. You can use it to request the exact data you need, and therefore limit the number of requests you need. GraphQL data is arranged in types, so your client can use client-side GraphQL libraries to consume the API and avoid manual parsing. There are no fixed endpoints and no data model, so you can add to the API without creating breaking changes. This enables us to have a versionless API.
