Hi. Sure it is! I am actively working on a Play 1.5 project whith a
GraphQL API. You can use just use com.graphql-java/graphql-java:7.0 but I
highly recommend aso using com.graphql-jav/graphql-java-tools:4.3.0.

For me, the more challenging part was translating existing examples to
Play, as all examplesI found were made for Spring. But as soon as you
understand graphql just needs a string with the query and Play just needs
to bind that string from http params, everything else will flow.

Perhaps you could get better results using Play 2.x (eg. for binding
directly from a JSON request body).

Also, if you are using Hibernate, it solves query batching for you.

Regards,
Juan Carlos

Hi Jay,

Take a look at Sangria:

http://sangria-graphql.org/getting-started/#play-graphql-endpoint

There is also this sample application:

Best.

Sangria was my first thought as well but he said he was using Java. If you're willing to consider Scala it's a nice option though.
