GraphQL without GraphQL - Backend Agnostic GraphQL inspired Queries For Colocating Data Requests With Components
summary
Claims a GraphQL-style query layer that runs against any backend and parses real GraphQL queries using GraphQL.js. Implements client-side resolvers, caching and polling, supports queries and mutations but not subscriptions, and uses fetch-dedupe for deduped network requests. The prototype called RouteQL powers a demo app, works for short-lived projects and eases migration to Apollo but sacrifices schema typing and introspection and is not described as production‑hardened.
