> If you need you consume a Graphql API you most certainly reach out for Apollo on the clientside to query data.

Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been assessing whether to use Apollo in a Swift iOS application. If your backend is using GraphQL then it’s almost impossible to find even a StackOverflow answer from anyone not using Apollo.

But when I tried it out, I found the package was cumbersome to use, and the generated code was over-dimensioned and inelegant, and the dependency itself pulled in other dependencies.

With bitter experience of using other packages in the past, which start out as helpful, but which end up a burden to the codebase, I decided to write some queries and mutations by hand. And it was super-simple.
