GraphQL vs Nancy: What are the differences?
GraphQL: A data query language and runtime. GraphQL is a data query language and runtime designed and used at Facebook to request and deliver data to mobile and web apps since 2012; Nancy: A lightweight web framework for .NET. Nancy is a lightweight, low-ceremony, framework for building HTTP based services on .NET Framework/Core and Mono. The goal of the framework is to stay out of the way as much as possible and provide a super-duper-happy-path to all interactions.
GraphQL can be classified as a tool in the "Query Languages" category, while Nancy is grouped under "Microframeworks (Backend)".
"Schemas defined by the requests made by the user" is the top reason why over 61 developers like GraphQL, while over 2 developers mention "C#" as the leading cause for choosing Nancy.
GraphQL and Nancy are both open source tools. It seems that GraphQL with 11.7K GitHub stars and 753 forks on GitHub has more adoption than Nancy with 6.8K GitHub stars and 1.46K GitHub forks.
