    GraphQL queries are just HTTP POST queries with a JSON body. They're supported everywhere.

    If you want specialized tooling for them, Kotlin and Swift both have great strongly-typed GraphQL libraries.

    Apollo publishes libraries for both:

  • How to build a Snowflake API?

    An example of a Snowflake API request using Java. This example uses Java’s built-in HttpClient and constructs JSON manually, so it doesn’t require additional dependencies; however, in production, you should use a library like Jackson for constructing JSON. Additionally, for stronger typing, you could use Apollo’s Kotlin-based GraphQL client.

    - found Flutter graphql is way ahead , even almost mature as Apollo for JS. apollo-kotlin is several miles behind, a lot of issues, absolutely inconvenient usage after graphql-flutter

    Hi 👋Martin from https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-android here. Can you ellaborate more on "created schema files are not serialized" ? For Android app, I usually recommend separating the persistence layer and the network models so that they're not coupled. But maybe it's different from a microservice?
