> Learn how to read data using the query request in the Business NXT schema. For data modifications, refer to Mutation Type documentation.


The Business NXT schema supports reading data (with a `query` request) as well as modifying data (with a `mutation` request). These two operations are exposed at the top of the schema with the `query` and `mutation` fields, as shown in the following image:
