Hi Asif， I just had a quick look for the website. It looks like the GraphQL could reduce the response message size by specifying the interested data in requery . As the service is consumed by JS front end, I'm not sure java-chassis's service consumer can leverage this feature. >From the implementation side, as Java chassis is based on the Open API module to provide the service governance support, it could be a challenge for us to bridge the GraphQL with Java-chassis. Do you have any idea about that?
