 * I am a business owner not a programmer, and I’m still finding new uses for this
   plugin.
 * For those who aren’t familiar with GraphQL like I am, I found it to be something
   that can work like a regular API but with added features. Instead of having a
   separate endpoint for each function, like domain.com/api/search_contact and domain.
   com/api/update_contact, you use a single one for everything: domain.com/graphql.
   Instead of post and get, you use query and mutate (not literal always, but you
   get the idea). In the query, you request and receive exactly what you ask for.
   Plus, within GraphQL, you can also call regular API endpoints.
 * • You can create persistent GraphQL queries that will call a weather API and 
   give you the response from that API.
 * • You can also mutate or change things on your WordPress site.
 * • You can apply functions and conditionals to the queries, and you can run multiple
   queries at once, allowing you to call a time API and a weather API in the same
   GraphQL query.
 * • You can automate queries based on events, so if someone submits a form, it 
   will trigger a query to fill in the form data on an Airtable.
 * • And provably more thing but still learning
 * So the potential to relay and change data is very versatile.
