Ariadne

Ariadne is a Python library for implementing GraphQL servers.

It presents a simple, easy-to-learn and extend API inspired by Apollo Server, with a declaratory approach to type definition that uses a standard Schema Definition Language shared between GraphQL tools, production-ready WSGI middleware, simple dev server for local experiments and an awesome GraphQL Playground for exploring your APIs.

Features

  • Simple, quick to learn and easy to memorize API.
  • Compatibility with GraphQL.js version 14.0.2.
  • Queries, mutations and input types.
  • Asynchronous resolvers and query execution.
  • Custom scalars and enums.
  • Defining schema using SDL strings.
  • Loading schema from .graphql files.
  • WSGI middleware for implementing GraphQL in existing sites.
  • Opt-in automatic resolvers mapping between pascalCase and snake_case.
  • Build-in simple synchronous dev server for quick GraphQL experimentation and GraphQL Playground.
  • Support for Apollo GraphQL extension for Visual Studio Code.
  • GraphQL syntax validation via gql() helper function. Also provides colorization if Apollo GraphQL extension is installed.

Following features should work but are not tested and documented: unions, interfaces and subscriptions.

Ariadne requires Python 3.6 or 3.7 and can be installed from Pypi:
