Summary

This blog post announces the addition of support for GraphQL schema export from APIMatic using API Transformer, enabling developers to migrate their existing APIs to GraphQL more easily. The new feature allows users to convert their SOAP or REST APIs to a GraphQL schema file, which can then be used to generate server code and resolver signatures. The conversion process supports various formats such as OpenAPI, RAML, and API Blueprint, and follows best practices for GraphQL schema design. For SOAP users, the migration involves converting WSDL types to GraphQL schema types, operations to mutations, and attributes to arguments. For REST users, the conversion wraps operation parameters in a GraphQL input type and links it to respective query/mutation arguments. The blog post also discusses the benefits of using GraphQL, such as its simplicity, speed, and efficiency, making it an attractive option for developers looking to modernize their APIs.
