Express-graphql: What exactly is "rootValue?"

[KieronWiltshire]

So I've tried to decipher exactly what rootValue does, and I've looked in the graphql docs to see if it's even referenced anywhere. I couldn't seem to find anything so I'm sure I'm missing something.

I would like to suggest that the rootValue explanation be linked or detailed a little more than what it already is to make it less confusing.

I would also appreciate it if someone could explain it to me here :)

@KieronWiltshire - I think this link to graphql-js/src/execute.js should help! I'm updating the README to point to that file instead of graphql-js. Thanks for the suggestion!

If you're learning GraphQL and are still confused, just know you aren't alone. :P
