GraphQL DevTools is a powerful Chrome extension designed for developers working with GraphQL APIs. It provides a dedicated developer tools panel that displays a concise list of all GraphQL requests sent, making it easier to track and debug queries. Users can view the raw GraphQL query strings as well as a computed view showing how the server interprets the requests, simplifying the debugging of fragments and complex requests.

The extension also formats and presents GraphQL responses in a readable manner, enhancing the development and troubleshooting experience. Built on the open-source graphql-network project, GraphQL DevTools keeps network monitoring seamless and efficient. After installation, users can visit GraphQLHub to explore additional GraphQL resources and playgrounds.
