SOFA (sofa-api) is a Node.js library that automatically generates a fully RESTful API from an existing GraphQL schema, turning queries, mutations, and subscriptions into REST endpoints. It also generates OpenAPI/Swagger documentation and supports integrations with Express and other frameworks.
Use cases
- generate REST API from GraphQL schema
- expose REST endpoints for existing GraphQL server
- support legacy REST clients while using GraphQL backend
- auto-generate OpenAPI Swagger docs from GraphQL
- migrate from REST to GraphQL incrementally
- serve GraphQL subscriptions as webhooks
When to choose
- you already have a GraphQL schema and need REST endpoints for existing clients
- you want auto-generated, always up-to-date API documentation
- you want a one-line setup REST gateway over GraphQL
When to avoid
- you are building a REST-only stack with no GraphQL schema
- you need fine-grained manual control over every REST route's behavior
- your project is not on Node.js
