## Operations

### Operation Type Existence

**Formal Specification**

- For each {operation} in the document.
- Let {operationType} be the type of {operation}
- Let {operationRootType} be the root type in {schema} for {operationType}.
- {operationRootType} must exist.

**Explanatory Text**

The root type for a given operation must be defined within the schema.

For example the following document is valid:

```graphql example
query getDogName {
dog {
name
}
}
```

While the following document is invalid:

```graphql counter-example
mutation getDogName {
dog {
name
}
}
```
