+# Migrate from Express GraphQL to GraphQL over HTTP
+
+When GraphQL was open-sourced in 2015, `express-graphql` quickly became the
+default way to run a GraphQL server in JavaScript. Built as middleware for Express,
+it provided a simple and reliable way to serve GraphQL queries using Node.js.
+
+While `express-graphql` still receives occasional updates for security and spec alignment, it is no longer actively developed. This limits its suitability for projects that need more control over request handling, streaming, or support for modern deployment environments.
+
+[`graphql-http`](https://github.com/graphql/graphql-http) is a lightweight implementation of the [GraphQL over HTTP specification](https://graphql.github.io/graphql-over-http/draft/). It's framework-agnostic, built to be composable, and easy to integrate into different server environments. Unlike `express-graphql`, it can run in a wide range of environments, not just Express.
+
+This guide is for developers currently using `express-graphql` who want to
+modernize their stack, adopt the HTTP spec, or decouple their GraphQL server
+from Express.
+
+## Benefits of migrating
+
+### `express-graphql` has limited future support
+
+The library is no longer under active development. While it is still maintained for security and spec compliance, it is not evolving with the GraphQL ecosystem. This makes it less flexible for long-term projects.
+
+### `graphql-http` is spec-compliant by default
+
+The GraphQL over HTTP specification defines how GraphQL should be transported over HTTP, including request methods, status codes, content types, and more. `graphql-http` follows this spec precisely, helping your server behave predictably and remain compatible with future tooling.
+
+### It's framework-agnostic by design
+
+Instead of relying on Express, `graphql-http` is built on the standard Web `Request` and `Response` interfaces. It works with Express, Fastify, Node's native HTTP server, and can also be used in serverless and edge environments.
+
+### It fits into modern JavaScript stacks
+
+`graphql-http` supports ESM and works well with modern build tools and lightweight deployment platforms. Its composable design makes it easy to customize, wrap, and integrate into different application architectures.
+
+### Designed for future compatibility
+
+As GraphQL evolves, tools and platforms increasingly expect spec-compliant behavior. Migration to `graphql-http` helps ensure your
+server will support future capabilities without relying on workarounds.
+
+## Migration guide
+
+The following steps walk through how to migrate an existing `express-graphql` server to use `graphql-http`. The steps assume you already have a working Express app using `express-graphql`.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+Before you begin, make sure you have:
+
+- Node.js 16 or later
+- A GraphQL schema
+- An existing Express app configured with `express-graphql`
+
+### Step 1: Install graphql-http and the Express adapter
+
+Install the core `graphql-http` package along with its Express adapter:
+
+```bash
+npm install graphql graphql-http @graphql-http/express
+```
+
+The `graphql` package is a peer dependency of `graphql-http`, and must be installed if it isn't already.
+
+### Step 2: Remove express-graphql middleware
+
+In your Express server file, remove the `express-graphql` middleware:
+
+```js
+// Before (using express-graphql)
+import { graphqlHTTP } from 'express-graphql';
+
+app.use('/graphql', graphqlHTTP({
+  schema,
+  graphiql: true,
+}));
+```
+
+### Step 3: Add graphql-http middleware with createHandler
+
+Replace it with the `graphql-http` handler using the Express adapter:
+
+```js
+import express from 'express';
+import { createHandler } from 'graphql-http/lib/use/express';
+import { schema } from './schema.js';
+
+const app = express();
+
+app.all('/graphql', createHandler({ schema }));
+
+app.listen(4000);
+```
+
+- Use `app.all()` to allow both `GET` and `POST` requests.
+- The handler accepts an options object similar to `express-graphql`.
+
+### Step 4: Handle context, error formatting, and extensions
+
+You can provide options like `context`, `rootValue`, and `formatError`:
+
+```js
+app.all('/graphql', createHandler({
+  schema,
+  context: async (req, res) => {
+    return { user: await authenticate(req) };
+  },
+  formatError: (error) => ({
+    message: error.message,
+    path: error.path,
+  }),
+}));
+```
+
+- `context` can be a static object or an async function.
+- You can also pass `rootValue`, or extend responses with custom logic.
+
+### Step 5: Add a GraphQL IDE (optional)
+
+Unlike `express-graphql`, `graphql-http` does not include a built-in GraphQL IDE. If you want to add one:
+
+- Use a plugin that serves an interactive GraphQL UI alongside your endpoint
+- Or serve a static HTML page that loads your preferred IDE from a CDN
+
+In either case, make sure to restrict access in production environments.
+
+### Step 6: Test your setup
+
+After migrating, verify that your server responds correctly:
+
+- Send queries and mutations using your preferred client.
+- Check for proper HTTP status codes and response shapes.
+- If you're using streaming features like `@defer`, ensure your client can handle `multipart/mixed` responses.
+
+## Best practices
+
+When migrating from `express-graphql` to `graphql-http`, there are a few key differences and potential pitfalls to keep in mind. These tips can help you avoid common issues and ensure a smoother transition.
+
+### Be aware of different error behavior
+
+`graphql-http` follows the GraphQL over HTTP spec closely, which means error formatting and status codes may differ from what you're used to with `express-graphql`. For example:
+
+- Invalid queries may return a `400 Bad Request` instead of a `200 OK`.
+- Errors in parsing or validation are surfaced earlier and more strictly.
+- You can customize error output using the `formatError` option, but it must conform to the spec.
+
+This can affect client expectations if they were relying on `express-graphql`'s more lenient defaults.
+
+### Consider IDE support in development
+
+`express-graphql` includes GraphiQL by default in development mode. `graphql-http` does not.
+
+To restore this functionality, consider:
+
+- Use a middleware plugin that serves an in-browser IDE.
+- Host a static IDE page at a separate endpoint.
+- Ensure the IDE is only available in non-production environments.
+
+### Watch for framework-specific middleware behavior
+
+Since `graphql-http` is framework-agnostic, it does not handle things like body parsing, CORS, or compression. You'll need to ensure those are handled appropriately by your Express setup:
+
+```js
+import cors from 'cors';
+import express from 'express';
+
+app.use(cors());
+app.use(express.json());
+```
+
+This gives you more control but requires a bit more setup.
+
+### Understand streaming and file upload limitations
+
+`graphql-http` supports streaming via `multipart/mixed`, which enables features like `@defer`. However:
+
+- Many clients don't yet support this content type.
+- File uploads are not built-in, and must be handled outside the core handler.
+
+Test your client integration carefully if you rely on these features.
+
+## What's next
+
+Once you're up and running with `graphql-http`, you can start extending your server with validation rules, monitoring, custom error handling, or alternative transports. For more advanced use cases, consider combining `graphql-http` with tools like [`envelop`](https://the-guild.dev/graphql/envelop) or [`graphql-yoga`](https://the-guild.dev/graphql/yoga-server).
