-A brief overview: **GraphQL** is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. It provides a complete and understandable description of the data in your API, gives clients the power to ask for exactly what they need, and enables powerful developer tools. The [specification](https://spec.graphql.org/) is open source and governed by the [GraphQL Foundation](https://foundation.graphql.org/).

+## Overview
+
+**GraphQL** is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. It provides:
+
+- a complete and understandable description of the data in your API,
+- support for powerful developer tooling, and
+- precise querying, which offers several benefits:
+  - clients request only the data they need, improving efficiency;
+  - new fields and features can be added without impacting existing clients; and
+  - field-level usage can be tracked and monitored for insights and optimization.
+
+The [GraphQL Specification](https://spec.graphql.org/) is open source and governed by the [GraphQL Foundation](https://foundation.graphql.org/).
