What is a .GQL file?
GQL is a GraphQL schema or query file. Used with GraphQL APIs.
- Did you know
- Lee Byron, Nick Schrock and Dan Schafer, three Facebook engineers, are credited as GraphQL’s co-creators.
- GraphQL was built inside Facebook in 2012 to power its native News Feed apps and was released publicly in 2015.
- Stewardship of GraphQL passed in 2018 to the GraphQL Foundation, hosted by the Linux Foundation.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify and read metadata from developer and data files: JWT tokens (header + claims + expiry), WebAssembly, Java class files, NumPy/Safetensors/GGUF model files, source maps, SQL dumps, Visual Studio/.NET projects, Terraform, Protobuf, GraphQL, SARIF, Python bytecode, and Apple property lists (XML + binary). Jupyter notebooks (IPYNB) and HAR captures now open in a full viewer - see Notebooks & data above.
- Depth of analysis
- .GQL is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .GQL file
- Drag a .GQL file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
