# GraphQL

As **FastAPI** is based on the **ASGI** standard, it's very easy to integrate any **GraphQL** library also compatible with ASGI.

You can combine normal FastAPI *path operations* with GraphQL on the same application.

/// tip

**GraphQL** solves some very specific use cases.

It has **advantages** and **disadvantages** when compared to common **web APIs**.

/// tip

Możesz dowolnie używać każdej operacji (metody HTTP).

**FastAPI** nie narzuca żadnego konkretnego znaczenia.

Informacje tutaj są przedstawione jako wskazówka, a nie wymóg.

Na przykład, używając GraphQL, normalnie wykonujesz wszystkie akcje używając tylko operacji `POST`.

### Krok 4: zdefiniuj **funkcję obsługującą ścieżkę**

To jest nasza "**funkcja obsługująca ścieżkę**":

* **ścieżka**: to `/`.

You are free to use each operation (HTTP method) as you wish.

**FastAPI** doesn't enforce any specific meaning.

The information here is presented as a guideline, not a requirement.

For example, when using GraphQL you normally perform all the actions using only `POST` operations.

### Step 4: define the **path operation function**

This is our "**path operation function**":

* **path**: is `/`.

* Security and authentication, including support for **OAuth2** with **JWT tokens** and **HTTP Basic** auth.
* More advanced (but equally easy) techniques for declaring **deeply nested JSON models** (thanks to Pydantic).
* **GraphQL** integration with <a href="https://strawberry.rocks" class="external-link" target="_blank">Strawberry</a> and other libraries.
* Many extra features (thanks to Starlette) as:
    * **WebSockets**

This release also removes `graphene` as an optional dependency for GraphQL. If you need to work with GraphQL, the recommended library now is [Strawberry](https://strawberry.rocks/). You can read the new [FastAPI with GraphQL docs](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/advanced/graphql/).
