Every graphql API I've ever seen returns JSON. It's definitely the standard. What are you referring to?

- habitue 4y agoI think they're referring to the query language itself not being json or yaml
- blagie 4y agoExactly. It's not just not-JSON, but it's obnoxious and hard to manipulate programmatically, on either end (client or server). That translates to a lack of tooling around it, an inability to write sane tooling, and difficulty interfacing in higher-order ways to things like interesting data stores. It's designed to be hand-written and parsed only with the official libraries.
