  Web-based applications have seen a huge increase in popularity in recent years, replacing standalone applications. GraphQL provides a complete and understandable description of the data exchange between client browsers and back-end servers. GraphQL is a powerful query language allowing API to evolve easily and to query only what is needed. GraphQL also offers a WebSocket based protocol which perfectly fit to the Tango event system. Lots of popular tools around GraphQL offer very convenient way to browse and query data. TangoGraphQL is a pure C++ http(s) server which exports a GraphQL binding for the Tango C++ API. TangoGraphQL also exports a GraphiQL web application which allows to have a nice interactive description of the API and to test queries. TangoGraphQL* has been designed with the aim to maximize performances of JSON data serialization, a binary transfer mode is also foreseen.
