# 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**. Make sure you evaluate if the **benefits** for your use case compensate the **drawbacks**. 🤓 ## GraphQL Libraries Here are some of the **GraphQL** libraries that have **ASGI** support. You could use them with **FastAPI**: * Strawberry 🍓 * With docs for FastAPI * Ariadne * With docs for Starlette (that also apply to FastAPI) * Tartiflette * With Tartiflette ASGI to provide ASGI integration * Graphene * With starlette-graphene3 ## GraphQL with Strawberry If you need or want to work with **GraphQL**, **Strawberry** is the **recommended** library as it has the design closest to **FastAPI's** design, it's all based on **type annotations**. Depending on your use case, you might prefer to use a different library, but if you asked me, I would probably suggest you try **Strawberry**. Here's a small preview of how you could integrate Strawberry with FastAPI: ```Python hl_lines="3 22 25-26" {!../../../docs_src/graphql/tutorial001.py!} ``` You can learn more about Strawberry in the Strawberry documentation. And also the docs about Strawberry with FastAPI. ## Older `GraphQLApp` from Starlette Previous versions of Starlette included a `GraphQLApp` class to integrate with Graphene. It was deprecated from Starlette, but if you have code that used it, you can easily **migrate** to starlette-graphene3, that covers the same use case and has an **almost identical interface**. !!! tip If you need GraphQL, I still would recommend you check out Strawberry, as it's based on type annotations instead of custom classes and types. ## Learn More You can learn more about **GraphQL** in the official GraphQL documentation. You can also read more about each those libraries described above in their links.
