Facebook Introduces Batched Requests to Assist Heavy Graph API Usage

Facebook now allows application developers to batch requests so they can more efficiently access the Graph API. Developers can batch up to 20 requests, batch multiple HTTP methods and FQL queries, and can order operations to specify dependencies between them.

The capability should help developers build faster, more efficient apps that can access large amounts of data without putting as much server strain on Facebook.

The Graph API was designed for accessing a single object so previously, developers had to send each Graph API request separately.
