Question 1

Does this tool make HTTP requests to a GraphQL server?

Accepted Answer

No. This is a client-side formatter and validator only. It processes your query text locally in the browser without making any network requests. It is not a GraphQL playground that sends queries to an endpoint.

Question 2

What does the formatter do?

Accepted Answer

The formatter applies proper indentation (2 spaces), aligns opening and closing braces, places each field selection on its own line, and removes comments from the output. The result is clean, readable GraphQL.

Question 3

What does the validator check?

Accepted Answer

The validator checks for balanced braces and parentheses, non-empty field selections, and proper fragment syntax (fragment Name on Type). It catches common structural mistakes and reports line-level errors.

Question 4

What are the sample queries for?

Accepted Answer

The sample queries are real-world examples from popular public GraphQL APIs (GitHub, SpaceX, etc.) that you can load to see how the formatter and validator work — or use as a starting template.

Question 5

Is my GraphQL query stored anywhere?

Accepted Answer

No. All processing runs locally in your browser. Your query text is never sent to any server.
