This library and the GraphQL over WebSocket Protocol are not cross-compatible with the deprecated subscriptions-transport-ws and its accompanying Protocol.
You must use graphql-ws coherently and implement the GraphQL over WebSocket Protocol on both sides, server and the client.
This package is another implementation of GraphQL over WebSocket protocol. It is the predecessor of graphql-ws and was developed by the Apollo team. However, it is now deprecated in favor of graphql-ws, which is more lightweight and has a simpler API.
Apollo Server is a community-driven, open-source GraphQL server that works with many Node.js HTTP server frameworks. Apollo Server supports subscriptions with WebSocket and integrates well with the Apollo ecosystem. It is more feature-rich but also heavier compared to graphql-ws, which is focused solely on WebSocket communication.
