An Empirical Study of GraphQL Schemas
Nov 2 · 12 min read
This is a brief for the research paper An Empirical Study of GraphQL Schemas, presented at ICSOC 2019. Erik Wittern led the work, with help from Alan Cha (implementation), myself (experimental design), Guillaume Baudart (theoretical analysis), and Louis Mandel (theoretical analysis). Most of these authors are affiliated with IBM, as part of IBM’s ongoing involvement with GraphQL as part of the GraphQL Foundation.
Since GraphQL is unfamiliar to many readers, I’ve included a bit more introductory material and illustrations than I usually do.
