About This Tool
How to Use This Tool
Paste REST Source Data
Enter the REST data you want to convert. The tool automatically validates your REST input and shows any syntax errors before conversion. Ensure your REST is valid for best results.
Configure Conversion Options
Adjust conversion settings like indentation, handling of REST-specific features, and GRAPHQL output style. Smart defaults work for most cases, but you can customize how REST structures map to GRAPHQL.
Review GRAPHQL Output
The converted GRAPHQL appears in real-time. Review carefully to ensure data integrity is maintained. Copy to clipboard or download the GRAPHQL file. Verify the output with our GRAPHQL validator if needed.
Technical Implementation
Best Practices & Tips
- βValidate input before conversion. Ensure your REST is valid before converting to GRAPHQL. Invalid REST often produces unexpected GRAPHQL results.
- βReview conversion results. Spot-check the GRAPHQL output to ensure data structure and values are preserved correctly. Pay special attention to nested objects and special characters.
- βHandle conversion edge cases. Test with empty values, null fields, special characters, and large datasets. REST-to-GRAPHQL conversion can have nuances that require attention.
- βUse related tools in sequence. After conversion, use our GRAPHQL formatter and validator to ensure the output is clean and valid. This creates a reliable conversion workflow.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Problem: Conversion output is missing data or incorrect
Solution: First validate your REST input. Invalid REST often converts to incomplete GRAPHQL. Also check if the data structure is compatible - some REST features may not have GRAPHQL equivalents.
Example: REST comments or special attributes might not convert to GRAPHQL if GRAPHQL doesn't support those features.
Problem: Special characters appear corrupted after conversion
Solution: Ensure your REST uses proper character encoding (UTF-8). Special characters, emojis, or international text require consistent encoding throughout the conversion process.
Example: If you see οΏ½ or garbled text, your source REST might not be UTF-8 encoded.
