It’s built to be highly customisable and versatile so you can take it from getting started with your first GraphQL project
all the way to building complex apps and experimenting with GraphQL clients.
@urql/exchange-graphcache
The following class is enough to create both a Relay-compatible GraphQL server and a hypermedia API supporting modern REST formats (JSON-LD, JSONAPI…):
<?php
namespace AppEntity;
use ApiPlatformCoreAnnotationApiResource;
use DoctrineORMMapping as ORM;
/**
* Greet someone!
*
* @ApiResource
* @ORMEntity
*/
class Greeting
{
/**
* @ORMId
* @ORMColumn(type="guid")
*/
public $id;
/**
* @var string Your nice message
*
* @ORMColumn
*/
public $hello;
}
Other API Platform features include data validation, authentication, authorization, deprecations, cache and GraphiQL integration.

def hello(self, name: str = "World") -> str:
return f"Hello {name}"
schema = strawberry.Schema(query=Query)
Then run strawberry server app
and you will have a basic schema server
running on http://localhost:8000
.
Strawberry also has views for ASGI, Flask and Django and provides utilities like dataloaders and tracing.
Apollo Kotlin (formerly known as Apollo Android) is a GraphQL client with support for Android, Java8+, iOS and Kotlin multiplatform in general. It features:
GraphQL Shield helps you create a permission layer for your application. Using an intuitive rule-API, you’ll gain the power of the shield engine on every request and reduce the load time of every request with smart caching. This way you can make sure your application will remain quick, and no internal data will be exposed.
import { rule, shield, and, or, not } from "graphql-shield"
// Rules
const isAuthenticated = rule({ cache: "contextual" })(async (
parent,
args,
ctx,
info,
) => {
return ctx.user !== null
})
const isAdmin = rule({ cache: "contextual" })(async (
parent,
args,
ctx,
info,
) => {
return ctx.user.role === "admin"
})
const isEditor = rule({ cache: "contextual" })(async (
parent,
args,
ctx,
info,
) => {
return ctx.user.role === "editor"
})
// Permissions
const permissions = shield({
Query: {
frontPage: not(isAuthenticated),
fruits: and(isAuthenticated, or(isAdmin, isEditor)),
customers: and(isAuthenticated, isAdmin),
},
Mutation: {
addFruitToBasket: isAuthenticated,
},
Fruit: isAuthenticated,
Customer: isAdmin,
})
// Server
const server = new GraphQLServer({
typeDefs,
resolvers,
middlewares: [permissions],
context: req => ({
...req,
user: getUser(req),
}),
})
use async_graphql::*;
struct Query;

GiraphQL makes writing type-safe schemas simple, and works without a code generator, build process, or extensive manual type definitions.
import { ApolloServer } from "apollo-server"
import SchemaBuilder from "@giraphql/core"
const builder = new SchemaBuilder({})
builder.queryType({
fields: t => ({
hello: t.string({
args: {
name: t.arg.string({}),
},
resolve: (parent, { name }) => `hello, ${name || "World"}`,
}),
}),
})
new ApolloServer({
schema: builder.toSchema({}),
}).listen(3000)
WunderGraph composes all your APIs into a single unified GraphQL API and allows you to expose your Graph as a secure and type-safe JSON-RPC API.
To get started with WunderGraph, you can use create-wundergraph-app
to bootstrap a new project:
npx create-wundergraph-app my-project -E nextjs-swr
On the client side, WunderGraph’s JSON-RPC API integrates very well with frameworks like Next.js, SWR and React Query, while one the backend, we’re able to leverage the power of “Server-Side-Only GraphQL”. Handle authentication, authorization, validation, joins and more right in the Query Layer.
mutation (
$name: String! @fromClaim(name: NAME)
$email: String! @fromClaim(name: EMAIL)
$message: String! @jsonSchema(pattern: "^[a-zA-Z 0-9]+$")
) {
createOnepost(
data: {
message: $message
user: {
connectOrCreate: {
where: { email: $email }
create: { email: $email, name: $name }
}
}
}
) {
id
message
user {
id
name
}
}
}
The Query above requires the user to be authenticated, injects the user’s name and email from the JWT token and validates the message against a JSON Schema.
Here’s another example showcasing how we can use Server-Side GraphQL with WunderGraph’s unique join capabilities, composing data from two different APIs into a single GraphQL response.
query (
$continent: String!
# the @internal directive removes the $capital variable from the public API
# this means, the user can't set it manually
# this variable is our JOIN key
$capital: String! @internal
) {
countries_countries(filter: { continent: { eq: $continent } }) {
code
name
# using the @export directive, we can export the value of the field `capital` into the JOIN key ($capital)
capital @export(as: "capital")
# the _join field returns the type Query!
# it exists on every object type so you can everywhere in your Query documents
_join {
# once we're inside the _join field, we can use the $capital variable to join the weather API
weather_getCityByName(name: $capital) {
weather {
temperature {
max
}
summary {
title
description
}
}
}
}
}
}
The full example can be found on GitHub.
Run Schemathesis via Docker against your GraphQL endpoint:
docker run schemathesis/schemathesis \
run https://your.app.com/graphql
Schemathesis will generate queries matching your GraphQL schema and catch server crashes automatically. Generated queries have arbitrary depth and may contain any subset of GraphQL types defined in the input schema. They expose edge cases in your code that are unlikely to be found otherwise.
Note that you can write your app in any programming language; the tool will communicate with it over HTTP.
For example, running the command above against https://bahnql.herokuapp.com/graphql
uncovers that running the { search(searchTerm: "") { stations { name } } }
query leads to a server error:
{
"errors": [
{
"message": "Cannot read property 'city' of undefined",
"locations": [
{
"line": 1,
"column": 28
}
],
"path": ["search", "stations"]
}
],
"data": null
}
Ariadne can be installed with pip:
$ pip install ariadne
Minimal “Hello world” server example:
from ariadne import ObjectType, gql, make_executable_schema
from ariadne.asgi import GraphQL
type_defs = gql(
"""
type Query {
hello: String!
}
"""
)
query_type = ObjectType("Query")
@query_type.field("hello")
def resolve_hello(*_):
return "Hello world!"
schema = make_executable_schema(type_defs, query_type)
app = GraphQL(schema, debug=True)
Run the server with uvicorn:
$ pip install uvicorn
$ uvicorn example:app
An example of a hello world GraphQL schema and query with sangria
:
import sangria.schema._
import sangria.execution._
import sangria.macros._
val QueryType = ObjectType("Query", fields[Unit, Unit](
Field("hello", StringType, resolve = _ ⇒ "Hello world!")
))
val schema = Schema(QueryType)
val query = graphql"{ hello }"
Executor.execute(schema, query) map println
npm install graphql-hooks
First you’ll need to create a client and wrap your app with the provider:
import { GraphQLClient, ClientContext } from "graphql-hooks"
const client = new GraphQLClient({
url: "/graphql",
})
function App() {
return (
<ClientContext.Provider value={client}>
{/* children */}
</ClientContext.Provider>
)
}
Now in your child components you can make use of useQuery
:
import { useQuery } from "graphql-hooks"
const HOMEPAGE_QUERY = `query HomePage($limit: Int) {
users(limit: $limit) {
id
name
}
}`
function MyComponent() {
const { loading, error, data } = useQuery(HOMEPAGE_QUERY, {
variables: {
limit: 10,
},
})
if (loading) return "Loading..."
if (error) return "Something Bad Happened"
return (
<ul>
{data.users.map(({ id, name }) => (
<li key={id}>{name}</li>
))}
</ul>
)
}
GraphQL Kotlin provides a set of lightweight type-safe GraphQL HTTP clients. The library provides Ktor HTTP client and Spring WebClient based reference implementations as well as allows for custom implementations using other engines. Jackson and kotlinx-serialization type-safe data models are generated at build time by the provided Gradle and Maven plugins.
To generate Jackson models that will be used with GraphQL Kotlin Spring WebClient, add following to your Gradle build file:
// build.gradle.kts
import com.expediagroup.graphql.plugin.gradle.graphql
plugins {
id("com.expediagroup.graphql") version $latestGraphQLKotlinVersion
}
dependencies {
implementation("com.expediagroup:graphql-kotlin-spring-client:$latestGraphQLKotlinVersion")
}
graphql {
client {
// target GraphQL endpoint
endpoint = "http://localhost:8080/graphql"
// package for generated client code
packageName = "com.example.generated"
}
}
By default, GraphQL Kotlin plugins will look for query files under src/main/resources
. Given HelloWorldQuery.graphql
sample query:
query HelloWorldQuery {
helloWorld
}
Plugin will generate classes that are simple POJOs implementing GraphQLClientRequest interface and represent a GraphQL request.
package com.example.generated
import com.expediagroup.graphql.client.types.GraphQLClientRequest
import kotlin.String
import kotlin.reflect.KClass
const val HELLO_WORLD_QUERY: String = "query HelloWorldQuery {\n helloWorld\n}"
class HelloWorldQuery: GraphQLClientRequest<HelloWorldQuery.Result> {
override val query: String = HELLO_WORLD_QUERY
override val operationName: String = "HelloWorldQuery"
override fun responseType(): KClass<HelloWorldQuery.Result> = HelloWorldQuery.Result::class
data class Result(
val helloWorld: String
}
}
We can then execute our queries using target client.
package com.example.client
import com.expediagroup.graphql.client.spring.GraphQLWebClient
import com.expediagroup.graphql.generated.HelloWorldQuery
import kotlinx.coroutines.runBlocking
fun main() {
val client = GraphQLWebClient(url = "http://localhost:8080/graphql")
runBlocking {
val helloWorldQuery = HelloWorldQuery()
val result = client.execute(helloWorldQuery)
println("hello world query result: ${result.data?.helloWorld}")
}
}
See graphql-kotlin client docs for additional details.
GraphQL Kotlin follows a code first approach for generating your GraphQL schemas. Given the similarities between Kotlin and GraphQL, such as the ability to define nullable/non-nullable types, a schema can be generated from Kotlin code without any separate schema specification. To create a reactive GraphQL web server add following dependency to your Gradle build file:
// build.gradle.kts
implementation("com.expediagroup", "graphql-kotlin-spring-server", latestVersion)
We also need to provide a list of supported packages that can be scanned for exposing your schema objects through reflections. Add following configuration to your application.yml
file:
graphql:
packages:
- "com.your.package"
With the above configuration we can now create our schema. In order to expose your queries, mutations and/or subscriptions in the GraphQL schema you simply need to implement corresponding marker interface and they will be automatically picked up by graphql-kotlin-spring-server
auto-configuration library.
@Component
class HelloWorldQuery : Query {
fun helloWorld() = "Hello World!!!"
}
This will result in a reactive GraphQL web application with following schema:
type Query {
helloWorld: String!
}
See graphql-kotlin docs for additial details.
Spring for GraphQL provides support for Spring applications built on GraphQL Java. See the official Spring guide for how to build a GraphQL service in 15 minutes.

}
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);
require_once '/path/to/vendor/autoload.php';
use SilerDiactoros;
use SilerGraphql;
use SilerHttp;
$typeDefs = file_get_contents(__DIR__.'/schema.graphql');
$resolvers = [
'Query' => [
'hello' => 'world',
],
];
$schema = Graphqlschema($typeDefs, $resolvers);
echo "Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8080";
Httpserver(Graphqlpsr7($schema), function (Throwable $err) {
var_dump($err);
return Diactorosjson([
'error' => true,
'message' => $err->getMessage(),
]);
})()->run();
It also provides functionality for the construction of a WebSocket Subscriptions Server based on how Apollo works.
SpectaQL is a Node.js library that generates static documentation for a GraphQL schema using a variety of options:
Out of the box, SpectaQL generates a single 3-column HTML page and lets you choose between a couple built-in themes. A main goal of the project is to be easily and extremely customizable—it is themeable and just about everything can be overridden or customized.
npm install --dev spectaql
# OR
yarn add -D spectaql
# Then generate your docs
npm run spectaql my-config.yml
# OR
yarn spectaql my-config.yml
genqlient is a Go library to easily generate type-safe code to query a GraphQL API. It takes advantage of the fact that both GraphQL and Go are typed languages to ensure at compile-time that your code is making a valid GraphQL query and using the result correctly, all with a minimum of boilerplate.
genqlient provides:
interface{}
.An example of defining a GraphQL query and running it with caliban
:
// define your query using Scala
val query: SelectionBuilder[RootQuery, List[CharacterView]] =
Query.characters {
(Character.name ~ Character.nicknames ~ Character.origin)
.mapN(CharacterView)
}
import sttp.client3._
// run the query and get the result already parsed into a case class
val result = query.toRequest(uri"http://someUrl").send(HttpClientSyncBackend()).body
An example of a simple GraphQL schema and query with caliban
:
import caliban._
import caliban.schema.Schema.auto._
// schema
case class Query(hello: String)
// resolver
val resolver = RootResolver(Query("Hello world!"))
val api = graphQL(resolver)
for {
interpreter <- api.interpreter
result <- interpreter.execute("{ hello }")
} yield result
GQty is a query builder, a query fetcher and a cache manager solution all-in-one.
You interact with your GraphQL endpoint via Proxy objects. Under the hood, GQty captures what is being read, checks cache validity, fetch missing contents and then updates the cache for you.
Start using GQty by simply running our interactive codegen:
# npm
npx @gqty/cli
# yarn
yarn dlx @gqty/cli
# pnpm
pnpm dlx @gqty/cli
GQty also provides framework specific integrations such as @gqty/react
and @gqty/solid
, which can be installed via our CLI.

There is also a nice HTTP wrapper.
SpringBoot has introduced Spring GraphQL since 2.7. Jimmer provides specialized API for rapid development of Spring GraphQL-based applications.
Support two APIs: Java API & kotlin API.
Powerful and GraphQL friendly caching support.
Faster than other popular ORM solutions, please see the benchmark: https://babyfish-ct.github.io/jimmer/docs/benchmark/
More powerful than other popular ORM solutions.
Three aspects should be considered in ORM design:
a. Query. b. Update. c. Cache.
Each aspect is aimed at object trees with arbitrary depth rather than simple objects. This distinctive design brings convenience unmatched by other popular solutions.

It can also be understood as a GraphQL Compiler, with the ability to add your own backends. Just by implementing a few interfaces, you’re able to teach the compiler how to talk GraphQL to any backend.
The following backends are already implemented: GraphQL, with support for Apollo Federation / Supergraph. Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, CockroachDB, MongoDB, SQLServer, OpenAPI / REST and Kafka.
To get a sense on how to implement a new backend, check out the Static Data Source, as it’s the simplest one.
It’s used in production by many enterprises for multiple years now, battle tested and actively maintained.
SwiftGraphQL is a Swift code generator and a lightweight GraphQL client. It lets you create queries using Swift, and guarantees that every query you create is valid.
The library is centered around three core principles:
🚀 If your project compiles, your queries work. 🦉 Use Swift in favour of GraphQL wherever possible. 🌳 Your application model should be independent of your schema.
Here’s a short preview of the SwiftGraphQL code
import SwiftGraphQL
// Define a Swift model.
struct Human: Identifiable {
let id: String
let name: String
let homePlanet: String?
}
// Create a selection.
let human = Selection.Human {
Human(
id: try $0.id(),
name: try $0.name(),
homePlanet: try $0.homePlanet()
)
}
// Construct a query.
let query = Selection.Query {
try $0.humans(human.list)
}
// Perform the query.
send(query, to: "http://swift-graphql.heroku.com") { result in
if let data = try? result.get() {
print(data) // [Human]
}
}
It is framework agnostic with bindings available for Symfony and Laravel. This code declares a “product” query and a “Product” Type:
class ProductController
{
/**
* @Query()
*/
public function product(string $id): Product
{
// Some code that looks for a product and returns it.
}
}
/**
* @Type()
*/
class Product
{
/**
* @Field()
*/
public function getName(): string
{
return $this->name;
}
// ...
}
Other GraphQLite features include validation, security, error handling, loading via data-loader pattern…
Run gqt
against your GraphQL endpoint. Build your query in an
intuitive TUI and execute it. The response from the server is written
to standard output.
gqt -e https://your.app.com/graphql
// expose an existing data model with ASP.NET & EF Core
public class Startup {
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddDbContext<DemoContext>();
// Auto build a schema from DemoContext. Alternatively you can build one from scratch
services.AddGraphQLSchema<DemoContext>(options =>
{
// modify the schema (add/remove fields or types), add other services
});
}
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, DemoContext db)
{
app.UseRouting();
app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
{
// defaults to /graphql endpoint
endpoints.MapGraphQL<DemoContext>();
});
}

A client library for rust that generates queries from types you provide, verifying that the types match the shape of your schema.
It provides a generator to bootstrap types from existing GraphQL queries.
Usage example:
#[derive(cynic::QueryFragment, Debug)]
#[cynic(
schema_path = "../schemas/starwars.schema.graphql",
query_module = "query_dsl",
graphql_type = "Root",
argument_struct = "FilmArguments"
)]
struct FilmDirectorQuery {
#[arguments(id = &args.id)]
film: Option<Film>,
}
#[derive(cynic::QueryFragment, Debug)]
#[cynic(
schema_path = "../schemas/starwars.schema.graphql",
query_module = "query_dsl",
graphql_type = "Film"
)]
struct Film {
title: Option<String>,
director: Option<String>,
}
#[derive(cynic::FragmentArguments)]
struct FilmArguments {
id: Option<cynic::Id>,
}
fn main() {
use cynic::{QueryBuilder, http::ReqwestBlockingExt};
let query = FilmDirectorQuery::build(&FilmArguments {

Here’s an example on how to create a simple schema based on a kotlin data class plus a property resolver that gets applied onto your class.
data class Article(val id: Int, val text: String)
fun main() {
val schema = KGraphQL.schema {
query("article") {
resolver { id: Int?, text: String ->
Article(id ?: -1, text)
}
}
type<Article> {
property<String>("fullText") {
resolver { article: Article ->
"${article.id}: ${article.text}"
}
}
}
}
schema.execute("""
{
article(id: 5, text: "Hello World") {
id
fullText
}
}
""").let(::println)
}
KGraphQL is using coroutines behind the scenes to provide great asynchronous performance.
See KGraphQL docs for more in depth usage.
KGraphQL has a Ktor plugin which gives you a fully functional GraphQL server with a single install function call. Example below shows how to set up a GraphQL server within Ktor and it will give you a GraphQL Playground out of the box by entering localhost:8080/graphql
.
fun Application.module() {
install(GraphQL) {
playground = true
schema {
query("hello") {
resolver { -> "World!" }
}
}
}
}
You can follow the Ktor tutorial to set up a KGraphQL server with ktor from scratch up.

The ZeroQL is a high-performance C#-friendly GraphQL client. It supports Linq-like syntax, and doesn’t require Reflection.Emit or expressions. As a result, at runtime provides performance very close to a raw HTTP call.
You can use ZeroQL to:
var userId = 10;
var response = await qlClient.Query(q => q
.User(userId, o => new
{
o.Id,
o.FirstName,
o.LastName
}));

Core Library - The GORM GraphQL library provides functionality to generate a GraphQL schema based on your GORM entities. In addition to mapping domain classes to a GraphQL schema, the core library also provides default implementations of “data fetchers” to query, update, and delete data through executions of the schema.
Grails Plugin - In a addition to the Core Library, the GORM GraphQL Grails Plugin:
Provides a controller to receive and respond to GraphQL requests through HTTP, based on their guidelines.
Generates the schema at startup with spring bean configuration to make it easy to extend.
Includes a GraphiQL browser enabled by default in development. The browser is accessible at /graphql/browser.
Overrides the default data binder to use the data binding provided by Grails
Provides a trait to make integration testing of your GraphQL endpoints easier

Mojolicious-Plugin-GraphQL - connect your GraphQL service to a Mojolicious app
GraphQL-Plugin-Convert-DBIC - automatically connect your DBIx::Class schema to GraphQL
GraphQL-Plugin-Convert-OpenAPI - automatically connect any OpenAPI service (either local Mojolicious one, or remote) to GraphQL
Example service:
import { defineService } from "@getcronit/pylon"
class User {
name: string
email: string
constructor(name: string, email: string) {
this.name = name
this.email = email
}
}
const users = [
new User("Alice", "alice@example.com"),
new User("Bob", "bob@example.com"),
new User("Charlie", "charlie@example.com"),
]
export default defineService({
Query: {
users,
user: (name: string) => {
return users.find(user => user.name === name)
},
Mutation: {
addUser: (name: string, email: string) => {
const user = new User(name, email)
users.push(user)
return user
},
},
},
})
After running the service, you can query it using GraphQL:
query User {
user(name: "Alice") {
name
email
}
}
query Users {
users {
name
email
}
}
mutation AddUser {
addUser(name: "Corina", email: "corina@example.com") {
name
email
}

Install with Julia’s package manager
using Pkg; Pkg.add("GraphQLClient")
using GraphQLClient
Connect to a server
client = Client("https://countries.trevorblades.com")
Build a Julia type from a GraphQL object
Country = GraphQLClient.introspect_object(client, "Country")
And query the server, deserializing the response into this new type
response = query(client, "countries", Vector{Country}, output_fields="name")
Alternatively write the query string manually
query_string = """
{
countries{
name
}
}"""
response = GraphQLClient.execute(client, query_string)

GraPHPinator is feature complete PHP implementation of GraphQL server. Its job is transformation of query string into resolved Json result for a given Schema.
array
s, no mixed types, no variable function arguments - this library doesnt try to save you from verbosity, but makes sure you always know what you’ve got.The purpose of Eggql is to make it as simple as possible to create a GraphQL server. You don’t need to create GraphQL schema (though you can view the schema that is created if interested). It is currently in beta release but is a complete implementation of a GraphQL server apart from subscriptions.
Just to be clear it supports all of these GraphQL features: arguments (including defaults), objects/lists/enums/input/interface/union types, aliases, fragments, variables, directives, mutations, inline fragments, descriptions, introspection and custom scalars.
Tests (jMeter) show that it is as fast or faster than other Go implementations for simple queries. We’re working on enhancements for performance including caching, data-loader, complexity-limits, etc.
To run an eggql
hello world server just build and run this Go program:
package main
import "github.com/andrewwphillips/eggql"
func main() {
http.Handle("/graphql", eggql.New(struct{ Message string }{Message: "hello, world"}))
http.ListenAndServe(":80", nil)
}
This creates a root Query object with a single message
field. To test it send a query with curl:
$ curl -XPOST -d '{"query": "{ message }"}' localhost:80/graphql
and you will get this response:
{
"data": {
"message": "hello, world"
}
}
