All Implemented Interfaces:

GraphQLDirectiveContainer, GraphQLInputType, GraphQLNullableType, GraphQLOutputType, GraphQLType, GraphQLUnmodifiedType

public class GraphQLScalarType
extends java.lang.Object
implements GraphQLType, GraphQLInputType, GraphQLOutputType, GraphQLUnmodifiedType, GraphQLNullableType, GraphQLDirectiveContainer

A scalar type is a leaf node in the graphql tree of types. This class allows you to define new scalar types.

GraphQL provides a number of built‐in scalars, but type systems can add additional scalars with semantic meaning, for example, a GraphQL system could define a scalar called Time which, while serialized as a string, promises to conform to ISO‐8601. When querying a field of type Time, you can then rely on the ability to parse the result with an ISO‐8601 parser and use a client‐specific primitive for time. From the spec : http://facebook.github.io/graphql/#sec-Scalars

graphql-java ships with a set of predefined scalar types via Scalars
