Question 1

What are .graphqls or .sdl files?

Accepted Answer

Files with `.graphqls` or `.sdl` extensions typically contain GraphQL Schema Definition Language. SDL is used to define the type system of a GraphQL API, including object types, fields, arguments, interfaces, unions, enums, and input object types.

Question 2

How is this different from the general .graphql viewer?

Accepted Answer

Our general .graphql Viewer (link to /viewer/graphql) can open files containing queries, mutations, or schemas. This viewer is specifically focused on files using the `.graphqls` or `.sdl` extensions which almost exclusively contain schema definitions.

Question 3

How do I use this viewer?

Accepted Answer

Click the "Open Local File" button to select a `.graphqls` or `.sdl` file from your device. Its plain text content will be displayed.
