# GraphQL SDK Generator vs GraphQL Mesh

The GraphQL SDK Generator offers a more lightweight and type-safe alternative to GraphQL Mesh. Here's how they compare:

* **Lightweight SDKs**: The SDKs generated by GraphQL SDK Generator are more lightweight in terms of both code and dependencies compared to GraphQL Mesh, which tends to be heavier.
* **Simpler Setup**: With GraphQL SDK Generator, setting up is easier—you only need to install the package and run a few commands, making it more straightforward than Mesh's configuration process.
* **Fewer Runtime Dependencies**: GraphQL SDK Generator significantly reduces the number of runtime dependencies compared to GraphQL Mesh, simplifying the project and minimizing overhead.
* **Smaller Build Size**: SDK build sizes generated by GraphQL SDK Generator are approximately 40-50% smaller than those created with GraphQL Mesh, contributing to a more efficient codebase.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.siddharth9890.com/graphql-sdk-generator/comparisons/graphql-sdk-generator-vs-graphql-mesh.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
