## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: graphql, api-framework, serialization
- domain: web-development, backend, apis, large-language-models
- platform: jvm
- tags: scala, graphql-server, schema, query-execution, spec-compliant
