I've often compared GraphQL to SOAP-XML with WSDL. It's nearly the same thing, and just about as boilerplate-y.
XSLT is about templating/transforming one XML doc into some other format. And there are simple replacements that largely fill the same role. Mustache, Handlebars, Template Toolkit (which was also the simpler solution back when XSLT was popular).
