[FIXED] Is there a recommended library for building GraphQL queries?

Issue

I'm calling a service that exposes a GraphQL interface. So I'm able to post a GraphQL query and receive data back via curl. Now I want to write a service that builds the query for me (dynamically, based on query parameters I send my endpoint) and sends the request and gets the response back.

I'm using Spring Boot 2.1.4.

I know you can build queries with the elastic search library in Spring. Wondering if there's something similar for GraphQL.

Solution

There's a few clients, taking rather different approaches.

1. SmallRye GraphQL offers both a dynamic and a typesafe client
2. Netflix DGS client - Has both a simple and a type-safe client
3. Apollo Android - Not Android specific, despite the name.
4. There's a Node based Java client generator and a Maven plugin for it too.
5. Nodes
6. Shopify's GraphQL code gen - Needs (J)Ruby to run but generates Java code.
7. Manifold can be used as a GraphQL client

These are all different beasts, as you'll see, so you'll have to decide what fits.
