Aspnetcore: Implementation of GraphQL as a middleware

[aminebizid]

This is not an issue but a question.

GraphQL is great and I believe it will soon replace Legacy REST implementations.

Is there any Microsoft team/project planning to implement GraphQL?

Hi, there is no one on the ASP.NET team working on implementing this, but I agree it's very cool, so I hope there's someone out there working on it.

You can use https://github.com/JuergenGutsch/graphql-aspnetcore
or ODATA (which is similar) https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/odatateam/2018/07/03/asp-net-core-odata-now-available/

Yes I know that there are third party library for GraphQL but it would be better if ASP.NET MVC itself had this feature. In today's api development world, most of the customers explicitly ask for this feature and it would be it can be added as a first class library in .NET because we sometimes can't rely on third party libraries because of periodic updates, bug-fixes and security fixes.

the third party solution are still incomplete and not yet fully documented, I think anyone competent already knows that there are graphql libraries, what we are saying is that make it first class citizen and fully supported/document and with tooling from Microsoft and so all community effort and just be directed towards that instead
