### Bundlesize Impact
308
+
309
+
Most GraphQL client-side libraries use the following common set of imports from the `graphql` library.
310
+
Assuming a transformation like [`babel-plugin-modular-graphql`](https://github.com/kitten/babel-plugin-modular-graphql/)
311
+
or granular imports in general this creates a short list of utilities.
312
+
313
+
```js
314
+
export { valueFromASTUntyped } from 'graphql/utilities/valueFromASTUntyped.mjs';
315
+
export { GraphQLError } from 'graphql/error/GraphQLError.mjs';
316
+
export { Kind } from 'graphql/language/kinds.mjs';
317
+
export { parse } from 'graphql/language/parser.mjs';
318
+
export { print } from 'graphql/language/printer.mjs';
319
+
export { visit } from 'graphql/language/visitor.mjs';
320
+
```
321
+
322
+
The minzipped size of the imports is about `11.2kB` in a given output bundle, which assumes all the above imports are
323
+
in use. When the GraphQL language parser is dropped from the bundle, for instance by precompiling queries and excluding
324
+
it in a compilation step, the resulting minzipped size drops to `5.55kB`.
325
+
326
+
When `graphql-web-lite` replaces the `graphql` package the minzipped size drops from the `11.2kB` figure down to `5.44kB`,
327
+
and `3.19kB` without the parser.
