GraphQL gets a foundation

We’ve talked before about how headless CMS seems to be coalescing around GraphQL as a transport mechanism. What I didn’t know was that GraphOL originally came from Facebook, and they’ve just spun it out to its own foundation.

From their home page:

An open and neutral home for the GraphQL community to enable widespread adoption and help accelerate development and the surrounding ecosystem

(Additionally in looking at this, I stumbled on the Wikipedia page of Query by Example which is the larger paradigm demonstrated by GraphQL.)
