Getting Started

An open source library you install on your GraphQL server to create a fully RESTful and configurable API gateway.

• Don’t choose between REST and GraphQL
• Get most of the benefits of GraphQL on the backend and frontend, while using and exposing REST
• Support all your existing clients with REST while improving your backend stack with GraphQL
• Create custom, perfectly client-aligned REST endpoints for your frontend simply by naming a route and attaching a query
• In the other way around (REST to GraphQL) you won’t get the best of both worlds. Instead just less powerful, harder-to-maintain server implementations with a some of the benefits of GraphQL. It can be a good and fast start for a migration though.
• Fully generated documentation that is always up-to-date
• GraphQL Subscriptions as Webhooks
