Content is Queryable: (Re)Introducing GROQ
Blog post from Sanity
GROQ, an open-source query language developed by Sanity, has been formalized as a working language specification, enhancing its reliability and support for developers using the Sanity platform. Designed to address the limitations of existing "Content APIs," GROQ allows developers to query, reshape, and transform JSON documents with unprecedented flexibility, enabling the creation of innovative digital experiences across various channels. This language empowers developers to avoid frequent re-authoring of content by content creators, thus overcoming technical constraints traditionally faced in content management. By remaining open-source, GROQ fosters a vibrant developer ecosystem that contributes to its adoption, with new features like array, string, and math functions being added based on community feedback. These features are available to existing Sanity customers on specific versions of the Content Lake API, while new users are encouraged to explore Sanity's modern CMS that treats content as structured data.
