## What it is
Spring for GraphQL is the official Spring integration for GraphQL Java, providing support for building GraphQL applications on the Spring stack. It is a joint collaboration between the GraphQL Java team and Spring engineering, serving as the successor to the GraphQL Java Spring project.

## Use cases
- build a graphql api with spring boot
- expose graphql endpoints in a spring application
- add graphql subscriptions over websocket in spring
- query relational data through a graphql schema in java
- migrate from graphql-java-spring to the official spring project
- add observability and tracing to graphql requests in spring

## When to choose
- you are building a Spring or Spring Boot application and want first-party GraphQL support
- you want deep integration with Spring features like security, data, and observability
- you want a maintained, officially supported successor to graphql-java-spring

## When to avoid
- your stack is not JVM/Spring based
- you need a standalone GraphQL server without the Spring ecosystem
- you only need a GraphQL client rather than server-side support

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: stable
- function: graphql, web-framework, api-framework, middleware, websocket, tracing
- domain: web-development, backend, apis, developer-tools
- platform: jvm
- tags: graphql-java, spring-boot, spring-ecosystem, api-server, reactive, spring, web-server
