The GraphQL specification has been gaining traction at incredible speed but the need to define, and then maintain, a separate GraphQL schema can be a substantial barrier to entry. GLiTR is an open source framework developed at the NFL with the express purpose to help us bridge this gap.
With GLiTR, it is now possible to build a GraphQL schema directly off of the existing domain POJOs prevalent in Java programming thereby leveraging existing code and greatly reducing the development time needed to get started with GraphQL.
