Breaking Changes

Upgraded to Java 11

graphql-java now requires Java 11 as a minimum version. See the blog announcing the change.

For those who need time to upgrade to Java 11, keep in mind we will support graphql-java 20.x (with Java 8) for a short period as per our release policy.

If you are wondering why we are not on a later version, graphql-java has always been conservative on its base JVM version to allow the widest possible set of consumers.

Reverted stricter scalar parseValue coercion, added monitoring and interceptor callback

v20.0 introduced a stricter set of scalar parseValue coercions - for example previously an Integer would accept a string if it parsed into a number but that was removed and a more strict system was put in place.

While technically more correct, and consistent with the graphql-js reference implementation, in practice this proved problematic for some consumers. So this more stricter parseValue coercion was reverted in v20.3.

We would like to re-introduce this more strict scalar parseValue conversion in the future and to that end we have introduced a graphql.execution.values.InputInterceptor callback that allows you to observe what values you are receiving and potentially do special tweaking of those values.

A graphql.execution.values.legacycoercing.LegacyCoercingInputInterceptor implementation will convert old less strict values into then more strict values for example.

If you had problems with scalar values we urge you to use the new InputInterceptor to learn what less strict values are coming into your systems and fix them up. That way, when a future version re-introduces the more strict (and more correct) coercion then you will be prepared.

Static recordLike() methods no longer supported

In v20, the PropertyDataFetcher would read property values from recordLike() methods on objects even if they were static methods. This caused problems for some users and after considering how to fix it and talking to some our major consumers like the Spring team, we decided to remove this behavior. On balance we think this will lead to a better outcome over the long term.

This is a breaking change for those who might have relied on a static recordLike() method being called for a property.

Removal of old deprecated methods and classes

The following PRs removed old deprecated methods and class. The changes are breaking ones but these have been deprecated for a long time.
