What each one is

The product in its own terms, so the numbers below have context.

gqlgen

A schema-first code generation library for Go that lets developers define GraphQL APIs using the schema definition language and automatically generates type-safe server implementations. It eliminates boilerplate by handling code generation while enforcing type safety throughout.
