What Hacker News says

There's lots of alternatives, but whether they are good or not depends on your use case: - Relay by Facebook, it's own GraphQL client: https://facebook.github.io/relay/ - Urql by FormidableLabs, an effort to build a simple React GraphQL client that covers the 80% use case: https://github.com/FormidableLabs/urql - GraphQL Request by Prisma, a minimal, universal GraphQL client: https://github.com/prisma/graphql-request Plus a variety of smaller ones like Lokka (https://github.com/kadirahq/lokka), FetchQL (https://github.com/gucheen/fetchql) and micro-graphql-react (https://github.com/arackaf/micro-graphql-react). It's all about the tradeoffs you want to make: if you're building a React app your can't go wrong with Relay or Urql, if you're writing one-off (universal) scripts graphql-request is probably your best choice, etc.
In Facebook’s GraphQL gets its own open-source foundation
Basically at the backend this is pure GraphQL. For Relay we need to have some Relay specific stuffs. That requires, more time. In the client side too, we had to work a bit more. That's why we go with Lokka[0]. It's just a client for any GraphQL backend. It has a simple cache. It also supports Relay like declarative data fetching. Basically, you could build a complete app with it using Meteor's other tools like FlowRouter. As a downside, you may need to fetch more data from the server. As a benefit, you don't need to learn much to build a app. May be can reduce the code compared with Relay. (But that's subjective) [0] - https://github.com/kadirahq/lokka
