๐JSON to GraphQL Schema Generator Documentation & Guide
๐How to Generate GraphQL SDL from JSON
- 1. Paste Sample JSON: Paste any valid JSON payload, API response, or select an example preset (User Profile, Product, Article).
- 2. Set Root Model Name: Define your top-level GraphQL type name (e.g. User, Product, Order) to anchor the schema hierarchy.
- 3. Choose Boilerplate Options: Select whether to generate types only, or append type Query and type Mutation operational contracts.
- 4. Generate & Copy Schema: Click ๐ Generate GraphQL Schema to inspect the synthesized SDL and copy it to your backend codebase.
โ๏ธRecursive Type Derivation & Scalar Inference
Schema inference walks the structural JSON object graph to synthesize normalized GraphQL types:
Pairs directly with the GraphQL SDL to TypeScript Converter for complete end-to-end type synchronization.
๐กPractical Use Cases
- GraphQL API Bootstrapping: Rapidly draft server-side GraphQL schemas from existing REST API JSON payloads.
- Backend Migration: Transition legacy Node.js or Python REST backends to Apollo Server, Yoga, or Mercurius without writing types manually.
- Full-Stack Prototyping: Scaffold frontend mock schemas for Apollo Client, Urql, and Relay during application planning.
