## What it is
GraphpostgresQL is a PL/pgSQL library that provides a GraphQL-like query interface to relational data in PostgreSQL. It uses table introspection to follow foreign keys and query complex datatypes like json, jsonb, and hstore, translating GraphQL-style queries into SQL.

## Use cases
- query postgres database with graphql syntax
- generate sql from graphql-like queries
- traverse foreign key relationships via graph-style queries
- introspect database schema to build nested queries
- query json and jsonb columns through a graphql interface

## When to choose
- you want to experiment with a GraphQL interface directly inside PostgreSQL without external services
- you need a pure-SQL, dependency-free way to translate GraphQL-style queries to SQL
- you want to study how table introspection can drive query generation

## When to avoid
- you need production-grade performance or reliability - it is explicitly alpha quality
- you need maintained software with active support - the last release was in 2017
- you need full GraphQL spec compliance, subscriptions, or stored persisted queries
- you use a database other than PostgreSQL
