Building Tooling That Speaks GraphQL - Tim Hall, Postman

Building Tooling That Speaks GraphQL - Tim Hall, Postman graphql.js underpins most of the clients and servers in the GraphQL ecosystem and it provides great primitives for developing your own tooling for working with GraphQL. In this session we'll take a look at some of the interesting and useful things you can do with parsers, visitors, and ASTs. We'll look at some examples from my experience working on Postman's new GraphQL client, including generating documentation, searching schemas, and building queries. GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. GraphQL provides a complete and understandable description of the data in your API, gives clients the power to ask for exactly what they need and nothing more, makes it easier to evolve APIs over time, and enables powerful developer tools.
