GraphQL Java

GraphQL Java implementation. It requires a little Spring and Java knowledge. GraphQL is a query language to retrieve data from a server. It is an alternative to REST, SOAP or gRPC. One very important property of GraphQL is that it is statically typed: the server knows exactly the shape of every object you can query and any client can actually "introspect" the server and ask for the "schema". The schema describes what queries are possible and what fields you can get back. (Note: when we refer to schema here, we always refer to a "GraphQL Schema", which is not related to other schemas like "JSON Schema" or "Database Schema") GraphQL Java is the Java (server) implementation for GraphQL. There are several repositories in the GraphQL Java Github org. The most important one is the GraphQL Java Engine which is the basis for everything else. The GraphQL Java Engine is only concerned with executing queries. It doesn't deal with any HTTP or JSON related topics.
