How does GraphQL allow clients to specify exactly what data?
- Clients have no control over data retrieval
- Clients must request all available data
- Clients send SQL queries to the server
- Clients use query language to specify the data they need
GraphQL allows clients to specify exactly what data they need by using a query language. Clients can define their data requirements in the query, requesting only the specific fields and relationships they want, thus minimizing over-fetching and under-fetching of data. This flexibility is one of GraphQL's key features.
