graphql-request is a lightweight and flexible JavaScript library for making GraphQL queries to a server. It simplifies the process of sending queries and mutations to a GraphQL API by providing a clean and intuitive syntax. With graphql-request, you can easily fetch data from a GraphQL endpoint and handle responses efficiently.
Compared to other GraphQL client libraries like Apollo Client or Relay, graphql-request is more lightweight and focused specifically on making requests to a GraphQL server without the additional features and complexity of a full-fledged client. It is actively maintained and suitable for projects where a simple and efficient GraphQL querying solution is needed.
