WPGraphQL
An extendable GraphQL API for WordPress that unlocks modern development workflows.
What is WPGraphQL?
WPGraphQL is a WordPress plugin that provides a GraphQL API for accessing and manipulating WordPress data. It solves the problem of inefficient data fetching from WordPress by allowing developers to query exactly what they need in a single request, replacing or complementing the traditional REST API. It unlocks modern development workflows by making WordPress data available to GraphQL clients and frontend frameworks.
WordPress developers looking to build headless or decoupled frontends, and GraphQL developers who need to integrate with WordPress as a content backend.
Developers choose WPGraphQL because it provides a complete, standards-based, and extensible GraphQL layer specifically for WordPress, with a focus on performance, developer experience, and long-term stability as a canonical plugin.
