What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-29, confidence not recorded
The official GraphQL specification, edited in Markdown and published as versioned releases describing the GraphQL query language, type system, and execution semantics. It serves as the coordination point for implementers building GraphQL servers, clients, and tools.
Use cases
- implement a GraphQL server from scratch
- check the official semantics of GraphQL queries and validation
- look up how GraphQL type introspection works
- track draft changes to the GraphQL spec
- cite a specific versioned GraphQL specification
When to choose
- you are building or validating a GraphQL implementation or tool
- you need the authoritative definition of GraphQL syntax and execution semantics
- you want to follow or contribute to GraphQL spec evolution
When to avoid
- you want a runnable GraphQL library or runtime - use graphql-js or similar
- you need tutorials or getting-started guides rather than normative specification text
