graphql-request is a lightweight and flexible JavaScript library for making GraphQL queries to a server. It simplifies the process of sending GraphQL requests by providing a simple and intuitive API that allows you to send queries, mutations, and subscriptions with ease. graphql-request supports features like caching, error handling, and batching to optimize network requests and improve performance.
Compared to other GraphQL client libraries like Apollo Client or Relay, graphql-request is more lightweight and focused on simplicity. It is suitable for smaller projects or when you need a quick and efficient way to interact with a GraphQL API without the overhead of a larger client library.
