## Technical Preview Contents

This technical preview contains a draft specification for GraphQL and a reference

implementation in JavaScript that implements that draft,

[GraphQL.js](https://github.com/graphql/graphql-js).

The reference implementation provides base libraries in JavaScript that would
17-
provide the basis for full GraphQL implementations and tools. It is not a fully
18-
standalone GraphQL server that a client developer could use to start
19-
manipulating and querying data. Most importantly it provides no mapping to a
20-
functioning, production-ready backend. The only “backend” that we have targeted for

this early preview, are in-memory stubs in test cases.

We are releasing this now, because after GraphQL was first discussed publicly,
24-
many engineers used this information to implement the parts of the system that

In order to be broadly adopted, GraphQL will have to target a wide

variety of backends, frameworks, and languages, which will necessitate a

collaborative effort across projects and organizations. This technical preview

marks the beginning of that process.

collaborative effort across projects and organizations. This specification serves as a point of coordination for this effort.
