You can implement a GraphQL service in anyway you desire. There is no inherent relation to the storage solution you use.

GraphQL isn't anywhere close to being similar to SQL, so I find the desire for an analogy very confusing.

To me, these are grammars for interacting with an API, not an API.

To me, it is like calling a set of search parameters in a URL an API or describing some random function call as an API. The interface is described by the language. The language isn't the interface.






What is your definition of API?

The normal definition, I believe.

A software interface between entities (components, programs, etc) that allows for communication between those entities.

What is yours?
