< p > GraphQL is a modern way to build HTTP APIs consumed by the web and mobile clients.
2016-11-08 16:41:38 +03:00
It is intended to be a replacement for REST and SOAP APIs (even for < strong > existing applications< / strong > ).< / p >
< p > GraphQL itself is a < a href = "https://github.com/facebook/graphql" > specification< / a > designed by Facebook
engineers. Various implementations of this specification were written
2017-08-20 19:28:59 +03:00
< a href = "http://graphql.org/code/" > in different languages and environments< / a > .< / p >
< p > Great overview of GraphQL features and benefits is presented on < a href = "http://graphql.org/" > the official website< / a > .
2016-11-08 16:41:38 +03:00
All of them equally apply to this PHP implementation. < / p >

2017-08-20 19:28:59 +03:00
< p > < strong > graphql-php< / strong > is a feature-complete implementation of GraphQL specification in PHP (5.5+, 7.0+).
2016-11-08 16:41:38 +03:00
It was originally inspired by < a href = "https://github.com/graphql/graphql-js" > reference JavaScript implementation< / a >
published by Facebook.< / p >
< p > 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
2017-08-20 19:28:59 +03:00
are used. Instead, it provides tools for creating rich API for your existing app.< / p >
< p > Library features include:< / p >

< li > Parsing, validating and < a href = "executing-queries/" > executing GraphQL queries< / a > against this Type System< / li >
< li > Rich < a href = "error-handling/" > error reporting< / a > , including query validation and execution errors< / li >

< p > Also, several < a href = "complementary-tools/" > complementary tools< / a > are available which provide integrations with

existing PHP frameworks, add support for Relay, etc.< / p >

2016-11-08 16:41:38 +03:00
(including April 2016 add-ons) as well as some experimental features like
