ArangoDB graph feature vs GraphQL

I am trying to design a product catalog which contains several features for the product (e.g., size, color, producer, etc).

I am also using the Arango Database as my database. The ArangoDB provides a powerful graph traversal feature. In this regard, I would like to know if it would be better to take advantage of the Arango graph traversal feature, or use the graphQL.

I have been researching about graphQL and I honestly can't see how it is more beneficial than the ArangoDB graph traversal capabilities.

The graph traversal of ArangoDB is much more performant than graphQL. The only reason to pick graphQL is that it is a little bit easier to implement.

ArangoDB has recently created a graphQL AQL generator. Maybe this could be interesting for you. https://www.arangodb.com/2017/10/auto-generate-graphql-arangodb/
