Hello Ministry,

I had some encounters recently with Graphql and we do not get along that well .

Any tips for graphl testing?

How did you make the transitions from a SOAP or REST API to Graphql?

Thanks

It’s not to hard, when I tried it out for the first time I forked a project: GitHub - KristofVanKriekingen1337/spring-petclinic-graphql: PetClinic Example based on GraphQL

I also used a browser extension to lookup graphql stuff (I used Apollo back in the days but there are probably way more tools now):
