Description

To gather ideas and discuss tasks related to creating a GraphQL tool to work with UIMA.

"...
 
Some time ago, we added JSON serialization to UIMA, with some complexities
around enabling accurate representation of the complete complexities of
interlinked UIMA features.
 
It strikes me that users frequently are interested in much simpler kinds of
things, and sometimes roll their own simple json serializers of some small part
of the CAS.
 
I'm wondering if we could figure out and implement some general kind of graphQL
support, to enable users to easily spec-out and retrieve what they wanted, and
whether or not the user community would find that of interest?
