Back to GraphQL

At Dgraph we love GraphQL, so much that we built our graph database around the language. Early on, we decided we should modify the language in order to make it a better graph query language, therefore creating GraphQL+-. That decision was not without an important trade-off. By abandoning the specification we also made it harder to interact with the rest of the very rich GraphQL ecosystem. We recently decided to provide a GraphQL compliant spec API in addition to the existing GraphQL+- one, and our plans now include migrating some of the constructs we added to GraphQL+- back into GraphQL without breaking compatibility.How can we build recursive queries, group by values, or structurally change a response to our queries in GraphQL? Well, that’s the great question we are answering at Dgraph and we want to share our solutions, prototypes, and future ideas.
