## Description

Vulcan is a GraphQL framework for Meteor that integrates a GraphQL data layer with React components to build full-stack web applications. It provides a structured approach to application development within the Meteor ecosystem, focusing on real-time synchronization and unified data management.

The framework enables a development workflow that connects React user interfaces to a GraphQL API. It extends the Meteor platform by using GraphQL as the primary data layer to handle state management and data fetching.

The system covers full-stack web development through a schema-driven state management model, client-side query orchestration, and a declarative view layer.
