Getting Started with Spring for GraphQL
The document provides an overview of the SpringOne tour in June 2022, focusing on GraphQL's advantages over REST APIs, its architecture, and implementation in Java. It details GraphQL as a query language for APIs, its schema definition, and the Spring for GraphQL project that facilitates its use in Spring applications. Additionally, the document outlines available server transports, testing workflows, and provides a link to a demo project.

- 12. GraphQL is aquery language for your API, and a server-side runtime for executing queries using a type system you de fi ne for your data. GraphQL isn't tied to any speci fi c database or storage engine and is instead backed by your existing code and data.
- 13. What is GraphQL? GraphQLis a technology for client server data exchange ● Alternative to REST APIs ● Provides a really great developer experience ● Created by Facebook in 2012 ● Open Sourced in 2015 ● Governed by a neutral foundation today ● Client + Server: 🤝 ● Client Side Query Language ● Server Side execution engine
- 14. Client + Server🤝 Client ● Custom GraphQL Query Language ● Client crafted query based on their needs ● Responses return only what client requests ● Developer Tooling Server ● GraphQL Schema defines your API ● Schema based on simple static type system ● Schema Definition Language (SDL) is used to describe a schema. ● Implemented in specific languages based on the GraphQL specification.

- 24. GraphQL Schema: ScalarTypes GraphQL comes with a set of default scalar types out of the box: ● Int: A signed 32-bit Integer. ● Float: A signed double-precision floating point value. ● String: A UTF-8 character sequence. ● Boolean: true or false. ● ID: The ID scalar type represents a unique identifier, often used to refetch an object or as the key for a cache. The ID type is serialized in the same way as a String; however, defining it as an ID signifies that it is not intended to be human ‐ readable.
- 25. Operation Types Most typesin your schema will just be normal object types, but there are three types that are special within a schema:
