The Complete Strapi™ Course with Plugins and Deployment - GraphQL Operators

The video tutorial provides an overview of using GraphQL to control responses similar to REST API parameters. It covers filtering, querying, sorting, and pagination in GraphQL, highlighting the use of operators for advanced filtering. The tutorial also discusses handling publication states and compares GraphQL with REST API. The session concludes with a brief mention of implementing GraphQL in a Next.js blog.

What is a key similarity between GraphQL and REST API parameters?
