7.1 Conclusion
A lot of people claim that GraphQL revolutionizes the way we write and interact with web APIs. I'm not going to go that far, but I hope this course has demonstrated that it has its merits. The GraphQL query structure is much easier to use and understand than URL query parameters in REST APIs, and getting related data in fewer round trips is certainly a win.
My name is Jeremy McPeak, and from all of us here at Envato Tuts+, thank you for watching!

7.1 Conclusion
A lot of people claim that GraphQL revolutionizes the way that we write and interact with web APIs. Now I'm not going to claim exactly that, but as you've learned in this course, it certainly has its merits. Its query structure is so much easier to use and understand than URL query parameters and RESTful APIs. And getting related data in less round trips is certainly a win. It's my hope that you have a solid understanding of how to build and work with GraphQL APIs. We've covered a lot of ground in this course, but I hope that you understand the fundamentals of defining types, querying and mutating state in the application. But of course, there is more that GraphQL offers, and I encourage you to visit the documentation. Thank you so much for watching this course. As always, feel free to contact me through Twitter or the Tuts+ forums if you have any questions. From all of us here at Tuts+, thank you and I will see you next time.
