Abstract
Embodiments of the claimed subject matter provide methods that support extension of web service application programming interfaces using query languages. In one embodiment, a method is provided that includes modifying an interface to a social graph. The social graph includes nodes connected by edges that represent relationships between the nodes, which form a plurality of trees associated with users to the social graph. Modifying the interface includes adding a node to at least one user's tree and attaching one or more queries to the node. The attached queries operate on a sub-tree of the added node. The interface is modified in response to the user(s) invoking a service configured to perform queries on the sub-tree.
