Schema Introspection

The schema introspection system is accessible from the meta‐fields__schemaand__typewhich are accessible from the type of the root of a query operation.

__schema: __Schema!
__type(name: String!): __Type

These fields are implicit and do not appear in the fields list in the root type of the query operation.

The schema of the GraphQL schema introspection system:

type __Schema {
  types: [__Type!]!
  queryType: __Type!
  mutationType: __Type
  directives: [__Directive!]!
}

type __Type {
  kind: __TypeKind!
  name: String
  description: String

  # OBJECT and INTERFACE only
  fields(includeDeprecated: Boolean = false): [__Field!]

  # OBJECT only
  interfaces: [__Type!]

  # INTERFACE and UNION only
  possibleTypes: [__Type!]

  # ENUM only
  enumValues(includeDeprecated: Boolean = false): [__EnumValue!]

  # INPUT_OBJECT only
  inputFields: [__InputValue!]

  # NON_NULL and LIST only
  ofType: __Type
}

type __Field {
