> "GraphQL is amazing" articles Considering how bad most of the web technology is, anything reasonably designed is probably going to be overhyped. It's important to realize that graphql is not some kind of magic graph query language, it's actually a very simple RPC protocol allowing you to submit multiple calls per network request in a tree shape (which is a very neat idea btw). It also has a schema. You still have to solve all the hard problems yourself, but there is a hope that since graphql is relatively popular and not as dysfunctional as SOAP or simplistic as a typical bespoke schemaless one-call-per-request RPC protocol (e.g. non-HATEOAS "REST"), it might be ok target for writing some actually useful utility middleware libraries and dev tools. That's pretty much the whole reason for all the excitement.
