Caching in GraphQL Explained with Examples for API Developers | #graphql

Caching is the process of storing data in a temporary storage called cache. When you hit a page that you've recently visited, the browser can get those files from the cache rather than the original server. This saves time, and bandwidth.

Caching is implemented in graphQL at the client side. Client applications interacting with GraphQL server are responsible for caching the data at their end. One possible pattern for this is reserving a field, like id, to be a global unique identifier.

InMemoryCache is a normalized data storage commonly used in GraphQL client applications.

Caching in graphql is based on unique identifier and at the client side but REST API uses web caching or URL caching. GraphQL has no native query caching and standard HTTP caching will not work for a GraphQL API.

Apollo Client stores the results of your GraphQL queries in a local, normalized, in-memory cache. This enables Apollo Client to respond almost immediately to queries for already-cached data, without even sending a network request.

Though caching in graphql is a complex affair compare to RESTAPI.
