NGraphQL is published

[rivantsov]

Hello my fellow Ironians
Hope you all are doing OK in these difficult times, safe and healthy. I have a big announcement to make: NGraphQL is finally published:
https://github.com/rivantsov/ngraphql

NGraphQL is a framework for building GraphQL APIs in .NET. It uses Irony as its parsing engine, to parse the input queries. It works great - really efficient, fast, typical query parses in less than 1 millisecond. The GraphQL language grammar is nice and clean.
But some experiences were... well, not so nice. AST/query model construction from parse tree. IT SUCKED, to be honest. Really bad experience. I had to give up using AST construction provided by Irony and use my custom code. Quite a lot of quite ugly code.
I know your pain. Definitely, Irony needs a face lift, big reconstruction. Not sure when I can come to this.. but hopefully, if NGraphQL moves well, then updating Irony (that is a CRITICAL piece of it) - will become a much bigger priority.
Anyway, have a look, try it, spread the word. I am very tired of all this REST crap, was ready to dump it long ago, and I think many of you feel the same. We just did not have any alternative. Earlier GraphQL attempts in .NET - well, I think did not stand to the challenge. Now I think we can do it, and move on
Stay safe

Sincerely yours
Roman
