GraphQL Alternatives

GraphQL is described as 'Query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. GraphQL provides a complete and understandable description of the data in your API, gives clients the power to ask for exactly what they need and nothing more, makes it' and is an app in the development category. There are more than 10 alternatives to GraphQL for a variety of platforms, including Self-Hosted, Mac, Windows, Linux and Web-based apps.
