+GraphQL
+-------
+
+*Working Draft - July 2015*
+
+**Introduction**
+
+This is a Draft RFC Specification for GraphQL, a query language created by
+Facebook in 2012 for describing the capabilities and requirements of data models
+for client-server applications. The development of this standard started
+in 2015. GraphQL is a new and evolving language and is not complete. Significant
+enhancement will continue in future editions of this specification.
