node-graphql-benchmarks VS apollo-ios

I remember seeing graphql-jit on a comparative benchmark of GQL server implementations, and it blowing everything out of the water, really impressive:

Depending on your usecase, you can go one level further and directly evaluate the query AST without delegating to resolvers.

(This generally only makes sense if you do programmatic schema generation. IE, read some metadata about a source and then generate GQL types/operations from it.)

So a query comes in, say something like:

    query {

And infact, if you are keen on understanding how every graphql-server performs, I would recommend checking out this

And since there are no outside dependencies except for graphql-js there is also no bloat to the same unlike other graphql servers. If you want to see how other GraphQL servers perform, you might want to have a look at this.

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:

apollo-ios - A strongly-typed, caching GraphQL client. Language: Swift.

Apollo iOS, on the other hand, generates Swift types from queries in our "queries.graphql" files and supports caching out of the box. Generating types from the SDL is not per se a problem, but it becomes cumbersome and error-prone with large nested queries. Apollo iOS also strongly-binds the generated structures to your queries, making it almost impossible to translate fetched data into an internal state.

Apollo Client does have a good integration with these frameworks including React, iOS and Android — so, you might want to check that out
