TypeScript · REST · SQL-friendly

Shape your API, not your codebase.

MeshQL adds GraphQL-style field selection to REST. Clients ask for exactly what they need. You write one SQL query, return flat rows, and MeshQL shapes nested JSON.

# npm
npm install @meshqljs/core @meshqljs/http @meshqljs/client

npx jsr add @meshql/core @meshql/http @meshql/client

The idea

GraphQL pain

40 resolvers, N+1 debugging, and codegen eating your types.

REST pain

Every client wants a different ?include= and you ship half the database.

MeshQL middle ground

Normal REST URLs. Query in headers. One resolver per entity. SQL you already write.
