    Today's video focuses on GraphQL, a method for client-server communication, though it's not as widely used as RESTful API. Unlike RESTful APIs, which use various HTTP methods and URIs for different operations, leading to potential overfetching, GraphQL utilizes a single endpoint and often the POST method, allowing clients to specifically request only the data they need, thus reducing unnecessary data transfer. This capability addresses both overfetching and underfetching issues common in RESTful APIs. GraphQL also supports operations like mutations and subscriptions for modifying data and real-time updates, respectively, using WebSockets for the latter. Despite its benefits, GraphQL poses challenges such as complex caching, performance overhead due to query complexity, and a steeper learning curve compared to RESTful APIs.
