A while ago I wrote about Super Graph which turns GraphQL queries into a single SQL query. Today let’s take a look at a very similar Java project called Elide.
What’s Elide
Elide is a Java library provided by Yahoo! which aims to boost the development velocity of your projects by enabling you to stand up a JSON API or GraphQL web service with minimal effort starting from a JPA annotated data model.
Elide allows you to quickly build and deploy production-ready JSON-API & GraphQL service letting you fetch entire object graphs in a single round trip. It supports multiple data model mutations in a single request in both JSON-API & GraphQL service. Creating objects, setting up relationships as well as updating or deleting, all is handled in a single atomic request.
-
Production Quality – build and deploy production-ready web services that expose your data as a service the way you need it.
-
Security – control access to your data by defining custom rules and annotating your models.
-
Mobile-Friendly – get only the data you asked for; fetch entire object graphs in a single round trip.
-
Single Atomic Request – Create objects, set up relationships, update, delete – all together in a single atomic request.
-
Customize – define custom behaviors for your data model operations, data validation annotations & request lifecycle hooks.
Elide is 100% open source under the commercial-friendly Apache 2.0 License.
How to use Elide
1. Define a model – as mentioned above Elide bases on a JPA annotated data model so our first step it setting it up & including relationships to other models using Java, Kotlin, Groovy or other JVM languages,
2 Secure – next step is securing access to our model’s fields and entities through a declarative permission syntax,
3. Expose – then making instances of your new model accessible through a top-level collection or if you prefer restricted access through relationships to other models,
4. Deploy & Query – once all above is done you are good to deploy and query your data with JSON or GraphQL requests.
