What you get back is json, why not make the query language json itself? So all the existing json processing tools on the frontend just work.&lt;p&gt;With the weird syntax, now you need a parser and checker, and you need to write some boilerplate for doing mutation syntax.&lt;p&gt;There’s a reason why everyone and their dog invented ORMs. So you could live in an object world and everything would just work. SQL translation magic would be just an abstraction.&lt;p&gt;GraphQl has some nice things, I.e you only fetch what you need, and the fact that that it exposes a service as a graph. However I’m not sold that it’s a big improvement over simple REST.</text></comment>

I particularly like being able to spin up a local instance of GraphiQL against any endpoint (with auth headers and everything). I tried it with GitHub&amp;#x27;s GraphQL API, and it took me less than a minute to get going.</text></comment>
