genqlient is a Go library and code generator that produces type-safe client code for GraphQL APIs. It validates queries against the schema at compile time and generates strongly typed response and variable structs, eliminating boilerplate and runtime type errors.

Use cases

• generate type-safe Go clients for a GraphQL API
• validate GraphQL queries at compile time in Go
• avoid interface{} when unmarshaling GraphQL responses in Go
• set up GraphQL codegen for a Go backend service
• query a GraphQL schema with typed variables and responses

When to choose

• you write Go against a GraphQL API and want compile-time query validation
• you want generated, strongly typed response structs instead of manual structs or interface{}
• you want a production-proven GraphQL client used at scale

When to avoid

• your project is not in Go
• you prefer runtime GraphQL clients without a codegen step
• you only make a few simple queries where codegen overhead isn't worth it
