What is GraphQL to Introspection JSON? ๐งญ
GraphQL to Introspection JSON converts a schema written in SDL into the JSON shape used by GraphQL clients, documentation generators, and schema tooling.
What can it do? โ
- Parse GraphQL schema definition language.
- Generate introspection JSON for compatible tooling.
- Keep type, field, argument, interface, union, enum, and directive data visible.
- Run conversion in the browser for quick schema checks.
How GraphQL to Introspection JSON works (Step-by-Step) ๐ช
- Step 1: Paste a GraphQL schema into the editor.
- Step 2: The converter parses the schema and runs an introspection query representation.
- Step 3: Copy the JSON result into documentation, client tooling, or schema pipelines.
Common Errors
- Syntax error from missing braces or invalid field definitions.
- Unknown type references that are not declared in the schema.
- Using query documents instead of schema SDL.
Limitations
- This converts schema SDL, not live remote endpoints.
- Custom runtime resolver behavior is not represented in introspection JSON.
- Very large schemas may take longer to process in the browser.
Free vs Paid ๐ธ
This tool is 100% free with no usage limits or account required. You can use it for quick conversions without subscriptions or payments.
Official vs Third-Party ๐งช
Folioify provides this as a third-party utility. It does not replace official tools, but offers a fast, accessible alternative for everyday workflows.
Use Cases ๐ก
- Generate schema JSON for GraphQL client configuration.
- Inspect a schema before publishing it to tooling.
- Move from SDL examples to introspection-based documentation.
Frequently Asked Questions โ
Can this fetch introspection from a GraphQL endpoint?
No. Paste schema SDL into the editor. It does not make network requests to remote GraphQL APIs.
Is introspection JSON the same as SDL?
No. SDL is human-readable schema text; introspection JSON is a structured machine-readable schema representation.
Can I use the output with GraphQL Code Generator?
Yes, many GraphQL tools accept introspection JSON, but check the expected schema format for your specific setup.
