Show HN: Dumbo – Hono inspired framework for PHP
You're talking about the implementation of the protocol, right?
That is a good implementation of it, called GraphQL Yoga[0]
However I'm concerned there is a slight disconnect here. I'm saying that the technical specification of GraphQL does not lend itself to being bad, rather its the failure of developers to really understand its purpose and what its for (its a giant aggregator, with various ways to optimally aggregate things together, depending on what is optimal for a given problem set)
For that, I recommend becoming more familiar with the specification itself[1] because thats what I'm talking about. The specification (and thus its technical nature) doesn't prescribe anything regarding how you get data on to the graph. Many people equate GraphQL with database problems[2]
This doesn't mean I don't understand that GraphQL has shortcomings, but all approaches to APIs have short comings. I have found GraphQL has the least amount

[2]: Common complaint I see all the time. I find it stems from a failure to understand how the entirety of GraphQL is meant to work, and some of the mechanics within. Like when to appropriately leverage DataLoader[3], for instance.

Intro to PostGraphile V5 (Part 3): Introspection and Abstraction
I'm a big believer in GraphQL (in fact, at time of writing I'm #2 contributor to the GraphQL spec itself) so it pains me that a tool I built doesn't always have easy ways to achieve the "versionless schema" design that GraphQL encourages when it comes to making significant breaking changes to your underlying database tables. (Personally, I think you should aim for your database schema itself to be versionless, but this is not always possible.) Of course you can build your PostGraphile schema over views instead of tables, but views have their own problems that I won't go into here…

Migrating Netflix to GraphQL Safely
I created a proposal for Map type but didn’t make it through.
https://github.com/graphql/graphql-spec/pull/888
The issue with GraphQL is it tries to appease too many masters.
Similar to jsx. The language isn’t evolving.
The good thing is the spec is (almost) frozen, so there’s many implementations, the bad is it can encompass the flexibility of json schema can do.

GraphQL object schemas - how to represent (and query?) Graph (hierarchical objects) in GraphQL?
If you're asking whether GraphQL supports anonymous objects that can be arbitrarily nested then no, it doesn't.
