Weâre overhauling Dgraphâs docs to make them clearer and more approachable. If
you notice any issues during this transition or have suggestions, please
let us know.
GraphQL is a query and update standard defined at
GraphQL.org. GraphQL is natively supported by Dgraph,
without requiring additional servers, data mappings or resolvers. Typically,
âresolvingâ a data field in GraphQL simply corresponds to walking that
relationship in Dgraph.
Dgraph also auto-generates access functions for any GraphQL Schema, allowing
users to get up and running in minutes with Dgraph + a GraphQL schema. The APIs
are auto-generated.
GraphQL is internally converted to the (similar-but-different) DQL query
language before being executed. We can think of GraphQL as âsitting on topâ of
DQL.
