The author of the article, Leonardo Salus, published the article "Making Graphql Work in WordPress" three years ago, where he compared two leading Graphql servers available for WordPress at the time: WPGRAPHQL and GATO GRAPHQL. He tried to identify the scenarios that are best suited for each of them.

Since then, there have been many new developments in this area, and this is a good time to consider what has changed and how it has affected the way we work with Graphql data in WordPress today.

The author believes that the future WordPress is a Headless interface. However, WordPress sites that use Headless through Graphql or WP REST API represent no more than a small part of WordPress.

💡 Interestingly, despite the fact that Headless may be a future WordPress, the evidence has not yet reached the daily stacks of developers. It can be of general interest and curiosity that run more than real work.

  • 📌 Headless is a future WordPress.
  • 📌 WPGRAPHQL and GATO GRAPHQL - Word Graphql servers for WordPress.
  • 📌 Graphql can be used not only for Headless, but also for managing WordPress.
🧩 The result: despite the fact that Headless is the future WordPress, Graphql can be a key element that will again make WordPress innovative force that forms the future CMS.
🧠 Own considerations: It is interesting to observe the development of Graphql integration with WordPress. It will be especially interesting to see how it will change the further development of Headless WordPress and what new opportunities will open up for developers.
