What is a GQL file?

GQL files mostly belong to GraphQL Playground. GQL files are plain text files that store GraphQL definitions. They contain instructions written in the GraphQL schema definition language. These files may include the following kinds of content:
  • Schema Files: Definitions of types and relationships used to build a GraphQL API.
  • Query Files: Commands to retrieve data from the server.
  • Mutation Files: Operations to update or delete data.
    • FilExt.com tips: The files are used by developers to design and test GraphQL APIs. You can open them with any text editor that supports code highlighting. Many tools such as GraphQL Playground, GraphQL Official, and Type-GraphQL work directly with these files to validate, generate code, and run queries.
