Hi everyone,

I’m using Go, and I need to parse GraphQL requests intended for and the schema used in SlashQL.

For example, @chewxy mentioned `parse_query` and `parse_graph` from the `graphql_parser` Rust pkg [graphql\_parser::parse\_query - Rust](https://docs.rs/graphql-parser/0.3.0/graphql_parser/fn.parse_query.html)

Does anyone know of a lib/pkg to do that w/ Go? i.e. Does [GitHub - vektah/gqlparser: A port of the parser from graphql-js into golang](https://github.com/vektah/gqlparser) work?

Thx

I believe the dgraph repo has a graphql parser (but ironically it’s not in the `graphql` subdirectory. @pawan showed some snippets to me yesterday but I could not for the life of me remember where it is

@pawan @chewxy Looks like dgraph uses [gqlparser](https://github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph/blob/dcce8bf62a73683f7aae3306c5b3f184b9e18682/graphql/schema/request.go#L43) ?

Hey @chewxy For case 1, is there a library in Go for doing that? I’m recently encountering similar situation.
