Sangria is a spec-compliant GraphQL implementation library for Scala, providing schema definition, query parsing, validation, and execution. It integrates with HTTP servers like akka-http and Play, and works with tools such as Apollo, Relay, and GraphiQL.

Use cases

• build a graphql server in scala
• define and execute graphql schemas on the jvm
• serve graphql queries with akka-http or play
• integrate graphql with relay or apollo clients
• parse and validate graphql queries
• implement graphql subscriptions and deferred execution

When to choose

• you are building a GraphQL API in Scala or on the JVM
• you need a mature, spec-compliant GraphQL engine with rich type-system features
• you want integration with Scala ecosystems like circe, akka-http, or Play

When to avoid

• your stack is not Scala/JVM
• you want a batteries-included HTTP framework rather than a GraphQL library
• you need a JavaScript/TypeScript GraphQL server
