## Overview

The JSON to GraphQL Converter is a streamlined utility designed to transform structured JSON data into valid GraphQL query or mutation syntax, helping developers quickly scaffold API requests.

## Inputs

- **JSON Input** (textarea): Enter your JSON data here...
- **Query Name** (text): Enter query name
- **Query Type** (select)

## When to use

- When you need to generate a GraphQL query structure based on an existing JSON response object.
- When you are prototyping API interactions and need to quickly convert mock data into query syntax.
- When you want to ensure your GraphQL field selection matches the schema of your JSON data source.

## How it works

- Paste your JSON object into the input field.
- Specify a custom name for your query or mutation.
- Select the operation type (Query or Mutation) from the dropdown menu.
- Click convert to generate the formatted GraphQL code block.

## Use cases

- Rapidly scaffolding GraphQL queries from API response samples.
- Converting mock JSON data into structured GraphQL mutation inputs.
- Standardizing data structures for frontend state management.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does this tool validate my JSON?

Yes, the tool expects valid JSON input to successfully parse and map the fields into a GraphQL structure.

### Can I generate mutations instead of queries?

Yes, you can select 'Mutation' from the Query Type dropdown to format your input as a mutation operation.

### Is the generated GraphQL code ready for production?

The output provides the correct syntax structure, but you should verify that the fields match your specific GraphQL schema definitions.

### Are there limits on the size of the JSON input?

The tool is designed for standard JSON payloads; very large or deeply nested objects may require manual review of the generated output.

### Does this tool store my data?

No, all conversions are performed locally in your browser, and your data is not stored or transmitted to a server.
