GraphQL.js vs Strawberry GraphQL

GraphQL.js is the official JavaScript implementation of the GraphQL specification. It provides a parser, validator, executor, type system and related utilities for building GraphQL servers, clients, tools and schema workflows in JavaScript or TypeScript. Developers define a type schema and serve queries against it; the graphql function checks syntax and semantics before execution and reports invalid queries. Documentation identifies v17 as the current stable release, with v16 available for projects requiring older Node.js versions. Getting-started instructions require Node.js 22 or newer and provide installation commands for npm, pnpm, yarn and bun. The library runs in Node servers and browsers, distributes CommonJS and ESModule files, and the project says webpack and rollup builds should work. It is MIT-licensed, free, distributed through npm and intended for self-hosted deployment. Latest and previous major versions receive stated support, but no Long-Term Support version is offered.

Strawberry GraphQL is a free, open-source Python library for creating GraphQL APIs. It uses Python type hints to define schemas and support a developer-oriented workflow. Async/await allows resolvers to run without blocking, while schema and field extensions provide places for custom logic. Generics support reusable types, and federated GraphQL schemas are supported. Built-in dataloaders can batch multiple queries into one. Documentation lists integrations for Django, Channels, FastAPI, Flask, Quart, Sanic, Chalice, Starlette, Litestar and AIOHTTP, while noting that the integration table may not be current. Installation uses pip and requires Python 3.10 or later. Strawberry is MIT licensed and intended for self-hosted deployment. Authentication is handled by the web framework; authorization uses Permissions classes. API explorer, client code generation and operation testing are listed. Enterprise support is available through Farbun.
