Caching in GraphQL
- Caching in GraphQL refers to the process of storing and reusing previously fetched data to reduce the number of network requests and improve performance.
- GraphQL clients can cache query results locally allowing them to retrieve data from the cache instead of making a new request to the server when the same data is needed again.
- This caching mechanism is especially beneficial in scenarios where the same data is frequently requested as it can significantly reduce latency and improve the overall user experience.
Caching in GraphQL
Caching in GraphQL involves storing and reusing fetched data to reduce network requests and improve performance. Client-side caching, supported by libraries like Apollo Client allows storing queried data locally and enabling quick retrieval without server requests. Apollo Client manages caching by checking the cache for existing data before fetching from the server, optimizing data retrieval.
In this article, we’ll learn about Caching in GraphQL in detail with the understanding of Client-Side Caching, its benefits and Implementation and so on.
