Kotlin and GraphQL
summary
Kotlin pairs with GraphQL to deliver a schema-first, introspectable API runtime that reduces boilerplate via first-class functions and Kotlin type inference, and wires server-side resolvers as simple data fetchers. Demo uses the GraphiQL explorer against the GitHub GraphQL API to request licenses and viewer fields in one query, showing responses that mirror requests and that new fields deploy without breaking clients. Schema-driven validation, easier unit/integration testing, and single-request batching all work as demonstrated.
