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 clean and intuitive API for fetching data. With graphql-request, you can easily send queries, mutations, and subscriptions to a GraphQL endpoint and handle the responses efficiently.
Compared to other GraphQL client libraries like Apollo Client or Relay, graphql-request is more lightweight and focused on just the essential features needed for making GraphQL requests. It is actively maintained, well-documented, and suitable for projects where a full-fledged GraphQL client may be overkill.
