=========================================================================================================

`Graphene <http://graphene-python.org>`__ is a Python library for
building GraphQL schemas/types fast and easily.

-  **Easy to use:** Graphene helps you use GraphQL in Python without
   effort.
-  **Relay:** Graphene has builtin support for Relay
-  **Data agnostic:** Graphene supports any kind of data source: SQL
   (Django, SQLAlchemy), NoSQL, custom Python objects, etc. We believe
   that by providing a complete API you could plug Graphene anywhere
   your data lives and make your data available through GraphQL.

Integrations
------------

Graphene has multiple integrations with different frameworks:

Installation
------------

For instaling graphene, just run this command in your shell

.. code:: bash

    pip install "graphene>=1.0"

1.0 Upgrade Guide
-----------------

Please read `UPGRADE-v1.0.md </UPGRADE-v1.0.md>`__ to learn how to
upgrade.

Examples
--------

Here is one example for get you started:

.. code:: python

    class Query(graphene.ObjectType):
        hello = graphene.String(description='A typical hello world')

        def resolve_hello(self, args, context, info):
            return 'World'

    schema = graphene.Schema(query=Query)

Then Querying ``graphene.Schema`` is as simple as:

.. code:: python

    query = '''
        query SayHello {
          hello
        }
    '''
    result = schema.execute(query)
