Linql

Linql is a next generation graph api library. It's primary goal is to provide language-native graph api integration to achieve consistency and scale across the web.

Linql is currently in alpha. Support for C# and Typescript may be production ready and significantly improve your web development experience.

Unparalleled Developer Experience

Because Linql is language-native, it is small, light-weight, and robust.

Using Linql allows you to interact with your api with compile-time safety and full typeahead support, significantly reducing developer time in comparison to other systems.

Typescript

C#

Python

Client Examples

C#

List<string> codesICareAbout = new List<string>() { "al", "ma" };

List<State> statesICareAbout = await states
.Where(r => codesICareAbout.Select(t => t.ToUpper()).Contains(r.State_Code))
.ToListAsync();

Typescript

this.CodesICareAbout = ["al", "ma"];
...
const statesICareAbout: Array<State> = search
.Where(r => this.CodesICareAbout.Select(t => t.ToUpper()).Contains(r.State_Code!))
.ToListAsync();

Python

statesICareAbout = ["al", "ma"]
search.Where(lambda r: any(lambda x: r.State_Code in x, map(lambda t: t.upper(), statesICareAbout))).ToListAsync()

Java

List<String> codesICareAbout = Arrays.asList("al", "ma");

List<State> statesICareAbout = states
.stream()
.filter(r => codesICareAbout.stream().map(t => t.toUpperCase()).collect(Collectors.toList()).contains(r))
.collect(Collectors.toList());

Model Generation

Linql is very powerful if there is automatic model generation for your consumers to use. This can be accomplished with the Linql.ModelGenerator.
