<h1 id="introspection"><a class="header" href="#introspection">Introspection</a></h1>
<p>GraphQL defines a special built-in top-level field called <code>__schema</code>. Querying
for this field allows one to <a href="https://graphql.org/learn/introspection/">introspect the schema</a>
at runtime to see what queries and mutations the GraphQL server supports.</p>
<p>Because introspection queries are just regular GraphQL queries, Juniper supports
them natively. For example, to get all the names of the types supported one
could execute the following query against Juniper:</p>
<pre><code class="language-graphql">{
__schema {
types {
name
}
}
}
</code></pre>
<h2 id="schema-introspection-output-as-json"><a class="header" href="#schema-introspection-output-as-json">Schema introspection output as JSON</a></h2>
<p>Many client libraries and tools in the GraphQL ecosystem require a complete
representation of the server schema. Often this representation is in JSON and
referred to as <code>schema.json</code>. A complete representation of the schema can be
produced by issuing a specially crafted introspection query.</p>
<p>Juniper provides a convenience function to introspect the entire schema. The
result can then be converted to JSON for use with tools and libraries such as
<a href="https://github.com/graphql-rust/graphql-client">graphql-client</a>:</p>
