GROQ - Graph Oriented Query Language

GROQ is developed by SANITY.io as is used to query data either hosted with SANITY or self-hosted. You usually write the queries in Content Studio and display the data in your front-end (vue.js, react, angular etc.).

Join together information from several sets of documents. Stitch together a very specific response the exact fields you need.

• Follow references
• Relational joins on key-value data
• Get exactly the data structures you need by reprojecting attributes
• Bundle multiple queries in the same request and get it all cached.
• Query on structured block text

Everything:

*

Movies released after 1979

*[_type == 'movie' && releaseYear > 1979]

… ordered by release year and only certain fields

*[_type == 'movie' && releaseYear >= 1979]
  | order(releaseYear) {
    _id, title, releaseYear
  }

Get actors and join in arrays of the titles of the movies they played in

*[_type == "person"]{
  _id, name,
  "movies":
    *[
      _type == "movie"
      && references(^._id)
    ].title
}
