<p>If you are building HTTP GraphQL API, you may prefer our Standard Server
(compatible with <ahref="https://github.com/graphql/express-graphql">express-graphql</a>).
It supports more features out of the box, including parsing HTTP requests, producing a spec-compliant response; <ahref="#query-batching">batched queries</a>; persisted queries.</p>
<p>Usage example (with plain PHP):</p>
<pre><codeclass="php"><?php
use GraphQL\Server\StandardServer;
$server = new StandardServer([/* server options, see below */]);
$server->handleRequest(); // parses PHP globals and emits response
</code></pre>
<p>Server also supports <ahref="http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-7/">PSR-7 request/response interfaces</a>:</p>
<pre><codeclass="php"><?php
use GraphQL\Server\StandardServer;
use GraphQL\Executor\ExecutionResult;
use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface;
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface;
use Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface;
/** @var ServerRequestInterface $psrRequest */
/** @var ResponseInterface $psrResponse */
/** @var StreamInterface $psrBodyStream */
$server = new StandardServer([/* server options, see below */]);
