simpleQL is a web API query language that mimics graphQL, designed solely for fun.

simpleQL consists of two languages - the schema language, and the query language. The schema language is a layout of how queries should be made, as well as what can be made with them.

There are two built-in keywords for the schema language:

• type
• scalar

type is used for defining new compound types. scalar is for defining new scalar types, such as Date.

The built-in types for the schema language are:

• String
• Integer
• Float
• Boolean

These can be combined into compound types as so:

scalar Date

type Book {
	String title
	Author author
	Date published
}

type Author {
	!String name
	!Book[] books
}

The query langauge can be used to request data from a server, either in whole or in part by listing it's type and it's fields, and subfields.

Book {
	title
	author {
		name
		books {
			title
		}
	}
}
