Features

• Headless CMS Integrations - Transforms a WordPress installation into a headless content source for external frontend applications via GraphQL.
• REST API Content Exposure - Exposes WordPress posts, pages, custom types, and user data through a single flexible GraphQL API endpoint.
• Content Management APIs - Manages website content in WordPress while delivering it to various platforms via a single flexible API endpoint.
• Headless WordPress Development - Facilitates building decoupled websites by using GraphQL to fetch WordPress content for separate frontend applications.
• WordPress REST APIs - Connects external applications to a WordPress site to retrieve or modify content and user data.
• Schema Mapping - Maps internal WordPress database records to a strongly typed GraphQL schema to standardize output for clients.
• GraphQL Schema Generators - Maps WordPress database structures and relational data into a standardized GraphQL API schema.
• Relational Data Modeling - Allows fetching lists of related objects and navigating relationships between data nodes using connections.
• GraphQL Schema Customizations - Allows adding custom types, fields, and connections to the GraphQL schema to expose specific business data.
• Schema Explorers - Includes an integrated environment to browse available data types and execute queries to test API responses.
• Visual Query Composers - Provides a checkbox-based visual interface to compose data requests and generate operations without writing code.
• Field-Level Access Controls - Implements granular security checks to hide sensitive fields or unauthorized entities based on user permissions.
• Field-Level Permissions - Evaluates user roles and capabilities during field execution to restrict access to sensitive data.
• Hook-Based Extensibility - Implements a hook-based system allowing external modules to inject new types and fields into the core API schema.
• GraphQL APIs - Exposes WordPress posts, pages, and custom data types through a flexible, automatically generated GraphQL interface.
• GraphQL Extensions - Enables adding custom fields and relationships to the GraphQL API to expose specific business data.
• Batch Value Retrievals - Optimizes data retrieval by fetching multiple diverse resources in a single request to reduce network round-trips.
• Global Object Resolution - Resolves any object in the graph using a global unique identifier regardless of the underlying data table.
• API Data Shapes - Transforms internal database naming conventions into standardized API data shapes for consistent client consumption.
• API Query Validation - Utilizes an integrated IDE to test queries and validate responses in real time.
• Identity Simulation Tools - Allows switching between authenticated and public identities to verify data visibility across different user roles.
• Data Mutation Specifications - Provides a standardized specification for performing data updates and creations via the GraphQL API.
• Execution Lifecycle Hooks - Provides a hook system to execute custom code at specific lifecycle points or modify data during execution.
• Global Entity Resolution - Enables fetching any object in the graph using a unique global identifier regardless of the entity type.
• Graph Connection Patterns - Implements a connection pattern allowing clients to traverse relationships between entity types via edges and nodes.
• Single-Endpoint Architectures - Consolidates multiple data resource requests into one HTTP call to minimize network latency.
• Visual Query Builders - Includes a graphical interface for visually composing GraphQL queries and exploring available data types.
• PHP GraphQL Tools - GraphQL API layer for WordPress sites.
