**Definition**: a software capable of executing a GraphQL request and returning
a GraphQL response according to this specification.

Examples: GitHub GraphQL API, Shopify GraphQL API, etc...

specification but not some of its optional features. Some implementations
implement the specification including all optional features.

Examples: graphql-js, Hot Chocolate, graphql-java, etc...
