Acknowledgements

This plugin was heavily inspired by GraphiQL from Facebook.

A number of language features such as query and schema validation are powered by graphql-java.

A thanks also goes out to the Apollo and Prisma teams for their continued efforts to improve the GraphQL Developer Experience.

And finally, a thank you to the JetBrains WebStorm team and the Alpha/Beta testers for all their help in getting the 2.0 release across the finish line.
