Having your cake and eating it too — GraphQL in Reason
summary
Argues that marrying GraphQL with Reason eliminates JSON parsing boilerplate and catches API mismatches at compile time by generating Reason types from GraphQL introspection. Shows a JSON-to-Reason generator and an editor workflow using graphql-ppx and TDgen to get autotypechecked queries, and an ocaml server using ocaml-graphql-server to enforce non-null contracts. Reports shipped production apps (money-handling mobile) with far fewer runtime JSON errors, notes gaps: ppx misses interfaces and custom scalars and server tooling is still young.
