GraphQL Formatter

Format or minify a GraphQL query, mutation or schema, and inspect its depth.

A GraphQL formatter indents a query, mutation or schema so its selection sets are readable, or minifies it by stripping every optional space. Because it tokenises rather than pattern-matching, braces inside string literals and comments cannot corrupt the indentation.

Frequently asked questions

Does formatting change how a query executes?

No. Whitespace is insignificant in GraphQL, so formatting affects only readability. Minifying reduces the bytes sent, which matters for queries embedded in a mobile client but not for a server-to-server call.

Why do servers limit query depth?

Because GraphQL lets a client request arbitrarily nested data, and a deeply recursive query can force the server to resolve millions of records from one small request. A depth limit of 7 to 10 is the standard defence.
