Consuming GraphQL using C#
summary
Claims that Strawberry Shake (debut 2021) generates C# clients from a fetched schema, outperforming older GraphQL.Client (2017, ~17.3M NuGet downloads) and even Microsoft HTTP client, by producing hundreds to ~1,000 lines of optimized code and fast HTTP implementations. Demonstration uses AWS AppSync to auto‑generate a GraphQL schema backed by DynamoDB, a .NET MAUI app called StrawberryMaui that runs on iOS/Android/macOS/Windows, retry logic via Polly, and immutable results with FrozenSet; the generated client works and reduces hand‑written code dramatically.
