One of the biggest problems using the Monday api is that it doesn't seem to accept request type 'application/graphql', it only accepts 'application/json'. GraphQL format converted to json is totally unreadable, since instead of being a proper serialised format the entire graphql query is just assigned to a 'query' property as a giant one line string stuffed full of escape characters. The effect of this is that we have to develop the query in graphql format (since that's the only readable format), then convert it to JSON when we want to integrate it into our code. And if we want to modify existing queries we are already using in our application we have to first do this conversion in the opposite direction, develop the changes we want to make, and then convert it back to JSON. So why doesn't the Monday api support 'application/graphql', and why doesn't the API PLayground support converting the query between graphql and json formats?
