GraphQL Tools
GraphQL Tools is a set of utility libraries and packages designed to simplify the development of GraphQL servers and schemas in JavaScript/TypeScript environments. It provides tools for schema stitching, mocking, merging, and generating executable schemas from GraphQL SDL (Schema Definition Language). These tools help developers build robust GraphQL APIs by abstracting common patterns and reducing boilerplate code.
Developers should use GraphQL Tools when building GraphQL servers with Apollo Server or other Node.js-based GraphQL implementations, as it streamlines schema management and enhances productivity. It is particularly useful for projects requiring schema composition from multiple sources, rapid prototyping with mocked data, or maintaining large, complex schemas where manual handling becomes cumbersome.
