Is GraphQL valid GraphQL+?

The following is true:

Javascript == Typescript
Typescript != Javascript

Can the same be said for Dgraph's GraphQL+?

GraphQL == GraphQL+
GraphQL+ != GraphQL

The reason for asking, I understand that GraphQL is not sufficient for Dgraph's goals. But does it process GraphQL if needed?

Solution

  • The first paragraph on their landing page reads:

    We’ve modified the language to better support graph operations, adding and removing features

    And also this

    GraphQL+- is a work in progress. We’re adding more features and we might further simplify existing ones.

    This means that these languages are incompatible. Similar, yes, but each have unique features.
