## Technical Preview Contents
11 - 12 -
This technical preview contains a draft specification for GraphQL and a reference
13 -
implementation in JavaScript that implements that draft,
14 -
[GraphQL.js](https://github.com/graphql/graphql-js).
15 - 16 -
The reference implementation provides base libraries in JavaScript that would
17 -
provide the basis for full GraphQL implementations and tools. It is not a fully
18 -
standalone GraphQL server that a client developer could use to start
19 -
manipulating and querying data. Most importantly it provides no mapping to a
20 -
functioning, production-ready backend. The only “backend” that we have targeted for
21 -
this early preview, are in-memory stubs in test cases.
22 - 23 -
We are releasing this now, because after GraphQL was first discussed publicly,
24 -
many engineers used this information to implement the parts of the system that
25 -
we discussed publicly. We want to support those engineers by providing both a
26 -
formal specification and a reference implementation for the system as a whole.

feedback in our final release.

In order to be broadly adopted, GraphQL will have to target a wide
34 10
variety of backends, frameworks, and languages, which will necessitate a

collaborative effort across projects and organizations. This technical preview
36 -
marks the beginning of that process.
