Is GraphQL an ORM? : <p>Is GraphQL an ORM? It seems like it is. At the end of the day it needs to query the database for information. You need to give it a schema (just like an ORM). From my understanding, on the front end you pass it the specifics that you want and GraphQL on the back end will give you <em>just</em> the info you requested.</p>

<p>The only difference I see from traditional ORMs, such as Sequelize or ActiveRecord, is that GraphQL will give you only what you want, making it very attractive and flexible. I suspect though that whatever's going on under the hood may leave you with some inefficient queries (common to ORMs). So is GraphQL simply an ORM that gives you 100% flexibility in what you ask for and receive?</p>
