This is a PHP implementation of the GraphQL specification based on the reference implementation in JavaScript. GraphQL is a modern way to build HTTP APIs consumed by the web and mobile clients. It is intended to be an alternative to REST and SOAP APIs (even for existing applications). GraphQL itself is a specification designed by Facebook engineers. Various implementations of this specification were written in different languages and environments. A great overview of GraphQL features and benefits is presented on the official website. All of them equally apply to this PHP implementation. graphql-PHP is a feature-complete implementation of GraphQL specification in PHP. It was originally inspired by reference JavaScript implementation published by Facebook. This library is a thin wrapper around your existing data layer and business logic. It doesn't dictate how these layers are implemented or which storage engines are used.
