Microsoft Graph
Microsoft Graph is a unified API endpoint and developer platform that provides access to data and intelligence across Microsoft 365 services, including Office 365, Windows, and Enterprise Mobility + Security. It allows developers to build applications that interact with users, groups, emails, calendars, files, and other Microsoft cloud resources through a single RESTful API. The platform includes features like authentication, data connectors, and AI-powered insights to streamline integration with Microsoft's ecosystem.
Developers should learn Microsoft Graph when building applications that need to integrate with Microsoft 365 services, such as automating workflows in Office apps, managing user data in Azure Active Directory, or accessing files in SharePoint and OneDrive. It is essential for creating cross-platform apps, enterprise solutions, and productivity tools that leverage Microsoft's cloud infrastructure, as it simplifies authentication and data access while ensuring security and compliance with Microsoft's standards.
