In this article, you will learn about how Anypoint DataGraph can help you make sense of your data in an easy way. You'll find out how it works and all the good things that come with using it!
What is Anypoint DataGraph ?
Anypoint DataGraph is a data integration and data governance platform provided by Mulesoft which helps us to manage, govern, and get value from data. It enables you to quickly connect to any data source, including SaaS applications, big data platforms, and enterprise systems. Mulesoft DataGraph also includes built-in machine learning (ML) algorithms that automatically identify and correct data quality issues.
What is Mulesoft GraphQL ?
Firstly, GraphQL is a query language for APIs, The APIs which provides GraphQL interface to query data are called GraphQL APIs. Mulesoft GraphQL APIs provide an easy-to-use interface to query data from different sources in a single API call.
GraphQL was initially developed by Facebook to overcome the challenges it faced with its existing REST APIs (~2012). The company open-sourced the query language in 2015 and is now managed by the GraphQL Foundation. Today, many people have implemented the specification in different programming languages. Most common programming languages support it.
GraphQL is a relatively new technology with significant promise and growing adoption. It is very popular among React developers.
How does Mulesoft Data Graph work?
Whenever you add a new API to your application network, Anypoint Platform stores that one as a graph of metadata. Anypoint DataGraph enables you to connect those graphs into one unified schema that runs as a single SaaS GraphQL endpoint and links all of the fields defined within all of your APIs.
As a result, you can query across the underlying APIs without needing to understand all of the relationships or specific capabilities that exist within them.
Benefits of using Anypoint DataGraph
