Package graphql-go-tools is library to create GraphQL services using the go programming language. GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. GraphQL provides a complete and understandable description of the data in your API, gives clients the power to ask for exactly what they need and nothing more, makes it easier to evolve APIs over time, and enables powerful developer tools. Source: https://graphql.org This library is intended to be a set of low level building blocks to write high performance and secure GraphQL applications. Use cases could range from writing layer seven GraphQL proxies, firewalls, caches etc.. You would usually not use this library to write a GraphQL server yourself but to build tools for the GraphQL ecosystem. To achieve this goal the library has zero dependencies at its core functionality. It has a full implementation of the GraphQL AST and supports lexing, parsing, validation, normalization, introspection, query planning as well as query execution etc. With the execution package it's possible to write a fully functional GraphQL server that is capable to mediate between various protocols and formats. In it's current state you can use the following DataSources to resolve fields: - Static data (embed static data into a schema to extend a field in a simple way) - HTTP JSON APIs (combine multiple Restful APIs into one single GraphQL Endpoint, nesting is possible) - GraphQL APIs (you can combine multiple GraphQL APIs into one single GraphQL Endpoint, nesting is possible) - Webassembly/WASM Lambdas (e.g. resolve a field using a Rust lambda) If you're looking for a ready to use solution that has all this functionality packaged as a Gateway have a look at: https://wundergraph.com Created by Jens Neuse

Apollo Federation Gateway Replacement
This library can be used as a replacement for the Apollo Federation Gateway. It implements the Apollo Federation Specification.
In addition to the scope of other implementations, this one supports Subscriptions!
Check out the Demo.
Overview
This repository implements low level building blocks to write graphql services in Go.
With this library you could build tools like:
- proxies
- caches
- server/client implementations
- a WAF
- be creative! =)
Currently implemented:
- GraphQL AST as of https://graphql.github.io/graphql-spec/June2018
- Token lexing
- AST parsing: parse bytes/string into AST
- AST printing: print an AST to an io.Writer
- supports indentation
- AST validation:
- all rules from the spec implemented
- AST visitor:
- simple visitor: fastest implementation, without field type definition information
- visitor: a bit more overhead but has field type definitions and other quirks
- AST normalization
- remove unnecessary include/skip directives
- field deduplication
- field selection merging
- fragment definition removal
- fragment spread inlining
- inline fragment merging
- remove self aliasing
- type extension merging
- remove type extensions
- Introspection: transforms a graphql schema into a resolvable Data Source
- AST execution
- query planning: turns a Query AST into a cacheable execution plan
- supported DataSources:
- GraphQL (multiple GraphQL services can be combined)
- static (static embedded data)
- REST
- supported DataSources:
- query execution: takes a context object and executes an execution plan
- query planning: turns a Query AST into a cacheable execution plan
- Middleware:
- Operation Complexity: Calculates the complexity of an operation based on the GitHub algorithm
- OperationReport: Makes it easy to collect errors during all phases of a request and enables easy error printing according to the GraphQL spec
- Playground: Easy hosting of GraphQL Playground (no external dependencies, simple middleware)
- Import Statements: combine multiple GraphQL files into one single schema using #import statements
- Implements the Apollo Federation Specification: Replacement for Apollo Federation Gateway
Go version Info
This repos uses go modules so make sure to use the latest version of Go.
Docs

Usage
Look into the docs. Other than that, tests definitely help understanding this library.
Testing
make test
Linting
make lint
Performance
Most hot path operations have 0 allocations. You should expect this library to exceed all alternatives in terms of performance. I've compared my implementation vs. others but why trust my numbers? Feel free to add comparisons via PR.
Benchmarks
Parse Kitchen Sink (1020 chars, example from Facebook):
pkg: github.com/wundergraph/graphql-go-tools/pkg/astparser
BenchmarkKitchenSink 189426 5652 ns/op 0 B/op 0 allocs/op
BenchmarkKitchenSink 198253 5526 ns/op 0 B/op 0 allocs/op
BenchmarkKitchenSink 199924 5553 ns/op 0 B/op 0 allocs/op
BenchmarkKitchenSink 212695 5804 ns/op 0 B/op 0 allocs/op
CPU and Memory consumption for lexing, parsing as well as most other operations is neglectable, even for larger queries.

Contributions
Feel free to file an issue in case of bugs. We're open to your ideas to enhance the repository.
You are open to contribute via PR's. Please open an issue to discuss your idea before implementing it so we can have a discussion. Make sure to comply with the linting rules. You must not add untested code.
