A TypeScript library and CLI from IBM that translates REST APIs described by OpenAPI Specifications (OAS) or Swagger into GraphQL schemas and servers. It can be used programmatically via createGraphQLSchema or through a CLI that spins up a GraphQL server wrapping an existing API.

Use cases

• wrap a REST API with a GraphQL interface
• generate a GraphQL schema from an OpenAPI spec
• convert swagger definitions to graphql
• expose existing microservices as a single graphql endpoint
• spin up a graphql server from an OAS file
• add graphql subscriptions on top of a rest api

When to choose

• you have an existing OpenAPI/Swagger-described REST API and want a GraphQL facade
• you want a quick CLI to prototype a GraphQL wrapper around a REST service
• you need to programmatically generate GraphQL schemas from OAS documents in a Node.js app

When to avoid

• you need actively maintained software - the repo is archived and development has paused
• you want ongoing support - use the GraphQL Mesh OpenAPI handler fork instead
• your API has no OpenAPI/Swagger specification available
