## Built for .NET Teams

### Strongly-typed Client

Write operations in .graphql files and build your project. Strawberry Shake generates typed C# results, inputs, variables, and client APIs.

### Normalized Reactive Store

Normalize GraphQL results into an entity store that keeps watched operations and UI components in sync as data changes.

### Flexible Fetch Strategies

Choose network-only, cache-first, or cache-and-network behavior for each operation and reuse cached entities across results.

### WebSocket Subscriptions

Consume GraphQL subscription streams through the same generated client and update the reactive store as new results arrive.

## MIT Licensed

Use, modify, and distribute Strawberry Shake in commercial or private projects under the terms of the MIT license. It works with spec-compliant GraphQL servers, including Hot Chocolate.
