We've found much to like about GraphQL, but it's a minor annoyance that most GraphQL-based web services only accept POST requests (not also GET requests) and treat white-space in the query as meaningful. These little factors make it harder to run ad-hoc queries by curl/httpie/etc or in a web browser. Will have to give this tool a try to see how well it fits for quick, little debugging of GraphQL endpoints.

> most GraphQL-based web services only accept POST requests (not also GET requests) A GraphQL server should generally be able to accept GET queries according to the spec [1]. Are there any common implementations that don't follow this? [1] https://graphql.org/learn/serving-over-http/#get-request https://graphql.org/learn/serving-over-http/#get-request
