GraphQL
Brief summary of what you researched
    - GraphQL is a way of simplifying API requests with simplified syntax, and other paterns that can reduce the number and complexity of API calls.
How does it extend your current programming foundation?
    - GraphQL is an additional tool in my toolbelt for simplifying API calls. It allows me to traverse related objects and their fields letting clients fetch related data in one request instead of making several roundtrips as one would need in a classic REST architecture.
If you were asked in an interview about the topic you researched, what would you want to highlight?
    - I am interested learning it and implementing it on future projects since it seems to be a great way to make code more readable, concise and efficient.
In a gist/document answer the following-questions at a high-level. We will discuss this further during week 1.
