Why GraphQL in a Builder and/or in WordPress
Builderius website builder believes in separation of concerns and data agnostic approach when it comes to development. Ultimately this provides you with more flexibility as to what data you can use, and how you can design using this data. Additionally it represents the workflow improvements with regards to visual builders, no code and low code tools as it provides you with the full power of GraphQL when ever you need it inside of the builder. While it may be easier to use a simple query builder tool available in some builders they are no match to GraphQL when it comes to accessing data and bending it to your will, all inside the builder.
Ultimately GraphQL will allow you to see and understand your WordPress data like never before, as it allows you handle all your data needs in a single place, in a convenient, highly readable and consistent format – making you a more capable developer.
Why Learn GraphQL, When Builderius Itself is Working on a Visual (GraphQL) Powered, Visual Query Builder?
GraphQL is universally used across the modern web technologies, including WordPress albeit in Headless Development context. Learning GraphQL will not only make you more knowledgeable about modern development techniques but will also allow you to use and understand our visual query builder better and it will make you capable of going further then the visual builder can provide.
