## Technical Preview Contents

This technical preview contains a [draft specification for GraphQL]
(https://github.com/facebook/graphql) and a reference implementation in
JavaScript that implements that draft, GraphQL.js.

The reference implementation provides base libraries in JavaScript that would
provide the basis for full GraphQL implementations and tools. It is not a fully
standalone GraphQL server that a client developer could use to start
manipulating and querying data. Most importantly, it provides no mapping to a
functioning, production-ready backend. The only "backend" we have targeted for
this early preview are in-memory stubs in test cases.

We are releasing this now because after GraphQL was first discussed publicly,
many engineers used this information to implement the parts of the system that
we discussed publicly. We want to support those engineers by providing both a
formal specification and a reference implementation for the system as a whole.

To that end, the target audience is not the client developer, but those who have
built or are actively interested in building their own GraphQL implementations and
tools. Critically, we also want feedback on the system and to incorporate that
feedback in our final release.

In order to be broadly adopted, GraphQL will have to target a wide
variety of backends, frameworks, and languages, which will necessitate a
collaborative effort across projects and organizations. This technical preview
marks the beginning of that process.
