See the Graph in GraphQL: Graph Visualization in Action

Session description

Despite having "Graph" in its name, GraphQL schemas are rarely visualized as actual graphs. This lightning talk explores the untapped potential of graph visualization for GraphQL schemas based on lessons learned while working on graphql-voyager. We'll explore the theory behind effective schema visualization, share key insights from my 9 years of experience in this field, and discuss current challenges in representing complex schemas. I'll also present experimental approaches that go beyond existing libraries, pushing the boundaries of how we understand and interact with GraphQL schemas. Join me for a visual journey that reveals what makes the "Graph" in GraphQL truly powerful, potentially reshaping how we design and understand our APIs.
