InQL v6.0 release is focused on improving performance and overall responsiveness of the tool. The whole project has been rewritten into the Kotlin programming language, resulting in a significant speed increase when parsing large GraphQL schemas.
The version v6.0 also moves away from the soon-to-be-deprecated GQLSpection library. Instead, the tool now uses graphql-java. This shift allows us to concentrate on implementing new security-related features without the added complexity of maintaining the GraphQL parsing library. Additionally, the Java library is faster and more compatible with our Kotlin rewrite.
The new release also brings new important features such as:
- A built-in GraphiQL and GraphQL Voyager servers, enabling schema visualization even when the target system doesn’t expose such interfaces
- A circular references detector to identify potentially vulnerable fields
- An improved batch queries screen
- Speeeeeed! 🚀
