I don't think GraphQL is used to query graph databases directly, is it? I've always understood it to be an API protocol that was built to serve some specific needs Facebook had (e.g. bundling multiple HTTP requests), not a full-on graph query language. I should probably mention that I don't really have extensive experience using it, though.

I think it is used as foundation for DQL[0], the query language of Dgraph.

But in and of itself, GraphQL isn't really built to query graph databases as you said.

GraphQL is basically used as SQL queries over stupid API:s. 99% of the graph DB advocates does not even understand what problem the graph DB solves. Soooo funny to argue with people when you can say that, oh, yes, we did this 20 years ago with recursive CTE:s.
