- [Instructor] Apollo isn't exclusive to React. So if you have any project built with Angular, mobile with iOS or Android, or even vanilla JavaScript projects, know that Apollo will work with any of the above. If you go to Apollo's website, and you can reach it by going to dev.apollodata.com, you'll see there is documentation discussing how to implement each of these respectively and that I have chosen React only as a personal choice. Also GraphQL itself is not opinionated on what server libraries or database you use to integrate with your application. The power of GraphQL lies in the fact that it will connect to almost any database and it allows the front end to be declarative in its queries and only fetch what it needs and nothing more. We'll explore this further when we look at queries. In summary, Apollo and GraphQL allows you to be more efficient in how you handle your data back and forth in between your server and clients. It has an open and flexible architecture.
