GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. GraphQL provides a complete and understandable description of the data in your API 

R4MVC is a Roslyn code generator for ASP.NET MVC Core apps that creates strongly typed helpers that eliminate the use of literal strings in many places.

It is a re-implementation of T4MVC for ASP.NET Core projects.
