Earlier quoted context omitted.
This is entirely incorrect. GraphQL is a wrapper around your service layer, or worse, around a number of ad hoc data sources. That service layer or those data sources may query SPARQL services.
So GraphQL is a graph abstraction over REST APIs, at the cost of massive REST calls to rebuild a graph. True?
