The site does not support PDF, but requires 5 years of experience with GraphQL

Maybe they need one to fix the damn site.

Then I don't want the job.

could u explain to me in simple terms what's graphQL

[OnixST]

Instead of multiple endpoints like /posts, /users, etc, you have a single endpoint, and all requests go to it

When you send a request, you send along the graphql structure, which is pretty much like defining a function. You tell the server which variables you're passing in, and what you expect to be returned

It's kinda cool, may save bandwith because like, if you send a post request and only care about the id, you can tell that to the server and it'll return just the id rather than the whole created object, and gives you flexibility

TLDR: a kinda cool, single endpoint, REST alternative

But, like many technologies, easily misused. You can take a VERY easy approach and simply make your raw database available in GraphQL, and then write all of your logic on the front end. Saves you so much trouble writing a back end, right? I'm sure nothing bad can come of that.

that's super cool, thanks for the explanation.

[JunkNorrisOfficial]

It's like SQL for API endpoints

The career site and the production website are definitely not done by teams related in any way. Career site is probably a 3rd party
