Graph Query Language (GQL) is a specialized query language designed for interacting with graph databases. It allows users to retrieve and manipulate data structured as nodes, edges, and properties, facilitating complex queries that involve traversals, pattern matching, and relationships within the graph.

About Graph Query Language
Graph Query Language (GQL) was developed to address the need for querying graph databases, which traditional SQL-based systems struggled with due to their tabular nature. It emerged as graph databases gained popularity for handling connected data more efficiently. The language evolved through contributions from the database community and organizations like Neo4j, which created Cypher, a widely adopted graph query syntax. In 2019, GQL became an official project under ISO/IEC to standardize a query language for property graphs.
Strengths of Graph Query Language include its ability to handle complex relationships, efficient traversal of graph structures, and intuitive syntax for pattern matching. Weaknesses involve limited adoption compared to SQL, potential performance issues with very large datasets, and a steeper learning curve. Competitors include SQL for relational databases and SPARQL for RDF (Resource Description Framework) data models.
