Introducing GraphQLinq - Strongly Typed GraphQL Queries with LINQ to GraphQL.

Consuming a GraphQL api in C# is straightforward with either using HttpClient directly or using a client library such as GraphQL.Client but both suffer from the same problems: The GraphQL queries do not go through any compile-time checking, and any mistake in the query isn’t discovered until you execute the query at runtime.

LINQPad Query Plan Visualizer

An SQL Server and PostgreSQL query execution plan visualizer for LINQPad.
