§graphql_query
Stupendously fast and easy GraphQL Query Language handling.
The graphql_query library follows two goals:
- To support a pleasant-to-use API for the GraphQL Query Language
- To be stupendously fast at processing GraphQL Query Language ASTs
In short, surprise! The graphql_query crate while handling a part of GraphQL does
not aim to support full, server-side GraphQL execution or the GraphQL Schema Language.
Many parts of the server-side execution of requests are one-off operations. Parsing a schema
and using it are operations that could even be preprocessed using the reference GraphQL.js
implementation.
A harder focus is to optimize how individual GraphQL requests are handled and making it easier to write complex code on top of an easy to use AST. GraphQL throughput is highly important in ensuring that GraphQL doesn’t fall behind any other solutions, which don’t feature a rich query language. On top, having an AST and library that’s sufficiently easy to use and contains enough primitives and utilities at the same time as valuing performance is something that’s harder to do when focusing on building a full GraphQL server.
As such, this library focuses on just processing GraphQL queries for the purpose of intermediary GraphQL layers, which operate inbetween GraphQL clients and GraphQL servers.
A good place to start learning more about this crate is the ast module…
