## What it is
A high-performance, fully specification-compliant GraphQL server library for Rust built on async/await. It integrates with web frameworks like Poem, Actix, and Axum and supports both static and dynamic schema definitions.

## Use cases
- build a graphql api in rust
- serve graphql queries over http
- create a typed graphql schema with rust macros
- add a graphql endpoint to an existing rust web service
- build a dynamically constructed graphql schema at runtime

## When to choose
- you are building a graphql backend in rust and want spec compliance and performance
- you need integration with popular rust async web frameworks
- you want a safe-rust (no unsafe code) graphql implementation

## When to avoid
- you need a graphql client rather than a server
- you are not using rust
- you want a standalone graphql gateway service rather than an embedded library
