It combines the best ideas of both ecosystems. It solves common tasks with ease and offers flexibility when you need it. Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) The documentation lives at [lighthouse-php.com](https://lighthouse-php.com). The site includes the latest docs for each major version of Lighthouse. You can find docs for specific versions by looking at the contents of [/docs/master](/docs/master) at that point in the git history: `https://github.com/nuwave/lighthouse/tree//docs/master`.

[Read our contribution guidelines](https://github.com/nuwave/lighthouse/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) Versioning ---------- [](#versioning) Lighthouse follows [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html). Only the current major version receives new features and bugfixes. Updating between minor versions does not require changes to PHP code or the GraphQL schema. It also causes no breaking behavioral changes for consumers of the GraphQL API. However, only code elements marked with `@api` remain compatible. All other code in Lighthouse is internal and subject to change. Changelog --------- [](#changelog) All notable changes to this project are documented in [`CHANGELOG.md`](CHANGELOG.md).
