Schema Stitching is one of 10 APIs that [The Guild](https://apis.io/providers/the-guild-dev/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. This API exposes 2 JSON Schema definitions. Tagged areas include API Composition, GraphQL, Schema Stitching, and Type Merging. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation, a getting-started guide, a GitHub repository, a JSON-LD context, and 2 JSON Schemas.

Schema Stitching is a GraphQL technique for combining multiple GraphQL schemas into a single unified API gateway. The @graphql-tools/stitch package creates a combined proxy layer that delegates requests through to underlying service APIs, supporting type merging, stitching directives, and automated query planning comparable to Apollo Federation.
