GraphQL was created in 2012 by Facebook (now MetaMeta), and the company's mobile apps have been powered by GraphQL since its creation. A GraphQL spec was open-sourced in 2015. In 2019, Facebook and others created the GraphQL FoundationGraphQL Foundation—a neutral, nonprofit home for GraphQL. GraphQL has grown to be used by a large number of companies and teams of various sizes across different environments and languages in order to run mobile apps, websites, and APIs.

Data query language developed by Meta (former Facebook)
GraphQL is an open-source query language for APIs that fulfills queries with existing data, originally developed by Meta.
GraphQL is a technology that was internally developed by Facebook for the purpose of data queries. The technology was developed in 2012 in San Francisco, California, United States.
GraphQL is a query language for APIs that fulfills queries with existing data. It describes the data within the API and provides developers with tools from there. GraphQL is organized through types and fields rather than endpoints to ensure apps can avoid writing manual parsing codes. The technology allows a developer to learn what data can be requested and highlight issues from the API without an editor.
The technology was offered as a public open-source project in 2015. It is meant to provide an alternative to specific architectures with the purpose of increasing productivity and limiting the amounts of data that can be transferred. The technology is an API that works specifically for Facebook, Credit Karma, GitHub, Intuit, PayPal, the New York Times, and other organizations.
Key features of GraphQL include:
- Aggregating data from multiple UI components
- Creating a representation of data that feels natural (i.e., a graph)
- Ensuring data is statically typed and that these types inform the queries supported by the schema
- Reducing the need for breaking changes while utilizing a built-in mechanism for deprecations when needed
- Accessing a tooling ecosystem with GUIs, editor integrations, code generation, linting, analytics, and more

GraphQL has grown to be used by a large number of companies and teams of various sizes across different environments and languages in order to run mobile apps, websites, and APIs.
GraphQL has been developed for use with popular languages such as JavaScript, Python, Ruby, C#, Go, and PHP. GraphQL APIs consist of three main components:
- Schema—the type system used to define the API for a server implementation, including all of its capabilities and functions.
- Query—the request, or instruction, for an output. New queries are declared with a keyword and can support nested fields, arrays, and arguments.
- Resolver—a function that specifies how and where an API can access data within a given field. The resolver tells GraphQL how to handle queries.

- Providing legal support for projects
- Operational and logistical support through The Linux Foundation
The GraphQL Foundation works closely with the GraphQL Working Group and the GraphQL Technical Steering Committee (TSC).
