A 21,565X performance increase in linting GraphQL
A joint letter to graph customers, the graph curious, and the Cypher community: Last week, the database world reached a significant milestone. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) published GQL, a new database language standard designed for property graphs. GQL, which stands for Graph Query Language, is the first new ISO database language since the [β¦]
