libgraphqlparser is a C++11 parser for the GraphQL query language, exposing both C++ and pure C APIs. It uses flex and bison to generate the parser and includes a code-generation framework for AST classes and visitors, making it a foundation for building language bindings.

Use cases

• parse GraphQL queries in a C++ application
• build a GraphQL parser binding for another programming language
• convert GraphQL query text into a JSON AST representation
• analyze or validate GraphQL syntax in a C or C++ codebase
• implement a GraphQL server or toolchain from scratch

When to choose

• you need a fast native GraphQL parser with C or C++ APIs
• you are writing bindings for a language that lacks its own GraphQL parser
• you want programmatic access to a GraphQL AST with visitor support

When to avoid

• you only need GraphQL parsing in JavaScript, Python, or another high-level language with native parsers
• you want a full GraphQL execution engine rather than just parsing
• you need Windows support, which is not listed as supported
