Result size calculation for Facebook's GraphQL query language / Beräkning av resultatstorlek för Facebooks GraphQL query language

GraphQL is a query language for web APIs and a service for carrying out server requeststo interact with the data from the API. Research show that even for simple GraphQL queriesboth the size of the response object and the execution times to retrieve these objects may beprohibitively large and that current implementations of the language suffers from this issue.This thesis explores the implementation of an algorithm for calculating the exact size of theresponse object from a GraphQL query, and the performance based evaluation of the implementation. A proof of concept of a server using the implementation of the algorithm and subsequent tests of thecalculation times for particularly problematic queries sent to the server, show that the implementationscales well and could serve as a way to stop these queries from executing.
