GraphQL is a query language for APIs developed by Facebook. Unlike REST which exposes multiple endpoints returning fixed data structures, GraphQL uses a single endpoint allowing the client to specify exactly the data it needs.

Strawberry and Graphene-Django are the two main GraphQL libraries for Django. Graphene-Django is more mature and widely adopted, using a class-based syntax. Strawberry is more modern, uses native Python type hints and offers better integration with typing tools. Strawberry is recommended for new projects due to its more pythonic syntax and native async support.
