Juniper (GraphQL server library for Rust)
GraphQL is a data query language developed by Facebook and intended to serve mobile and web application frontends.
Juniper makes it possible to write GraphQL servers in Rust that are type-safe and blazingly fast. We also try to make declaring and resolving GraphQL schemas as convenient as possible as Rust will allow.
Juniper doesn't include a web server - instead it provides building blocks to make integration with existing servers straightforward, including embedded GraphiQL and/or GraphQL Playground for easy debugging.
Getting Started
The best place to get started is Juniper Book, which contains guides with plenty of examples, covering all features of Juniper.
To get started quickly and get a feel for Juniper, check out the "Quickstart" section.
For specific information about macros, types and the Juniper API, the API docs is the best place to look.
Features
Juniper supports the full GraphQL query language according to October 2021 GraphQL specification, including interfaces, unions, schema introspection, and validations. It does not, however, support the schema language.
As an exception to other GraphQL libraries for other languages, Juniper builds non-null
types by default. A field of type Vec<Episode>
will be converted into [Episode!]!
. The corresponding Rust type for e.g. [Episode]
would be Option<Vec<Option<Episode>>>
.
Integrations
Data types
Juniper has automatic integration with some very common Rust crates to make building schemas a breeze. The types from these crates will be usable in your schemas automatically:
bigdecimal
(feature gated)bson
chrono
(feature gated)chrono-tz
(feature gated)rust_decimal
(feature gated)time
(feature gated)url
uuid
Web servers
actix-web
(juniper_actix
crate)hyper
(juniper_hyper
crate)iron
(juniper_iron
crate)rocket
(juniper_rocket
crate)warp
(juniper_warp
crate)
API Stability
Juniper has not reached 1.0 yet, thus some API instability should be expected.
