'How ApolloGraphQL related to GraphQL?

I need to do a research on GraphQL and this confused me.

As I understand, ApolloGraphQL is some kind of framework/service that based on top of GraphQL (just like ExpressJS compared to Nodejs, Laravel framework compared to PHP)

Is that correct?

Thank you very much

graphql apollo

GraphQL is a language that is mostly used right now as an API on top of your Node.js server (so server-side)

Apollo is a client-side library that is made to consume GraphQL APIs

So, for a popular setup (express + GraphQL + Apollo),

express and GraphQL will execute server-side
The GraphQL API will be exposed a /graphql
Apollo will be executed client-side (in the browser for example) and will consume the API at /graphql

Yes you are correct on that point

ApolloGraphQL is framework for graphql like express framework for rest apis. You can implement graphql without AppoloServer , but Appolo gives you easy ways to apply graphql that's why we use framework.
