## Technical Preview Contents
19-
20-
This technical preview contains a [draft specification for GraphQL]
21-
(https://github.com/facebook/graphql) and a reference implementation in
22-
JavaScript that implements that draft, GraphQL.js.
23-
24-
The reference implementation provides base libraries in JavaScript that would
25-
provide the basis for full GraphQL implementations and tools. It is not a fully
26-
standalone GraphQL server that a client developer could use to start
27-
manipulating and querying data. Most importantly, it provides no mapping to a
28-
functioning, production-ready backend. The only "backend" we have targeted for
29-
this early preview are in-memory stubs in test cases.
30-
31-
We are releasing this now because after GraphQL was first discussed publicly,
32-
many engineers used this information to implement the parts of the system that
33-
we discussed publicly. We want to support those engineers by providing both a
34-
formal specification and a reference implementation for the system as a whole.
35-
36-
To that end, the target audience is not the client developer, but those who have
37-
built or are actively interested in building their own GraphQL implementations and
38-
tools. Critically, we also want feedback on the system and to incorporate that
39-
feedback in our final release.
40-
41-
In order to be broadly adopted, GraphQL will have to target a wide
42-
variety of backends, frameworks, and languages, which will necessitate a
43-
collaborative effort across projects and organizations. This technical preview
44-
marks the beginning of that process.
