## What it is
GraphQL Editor is an open-source visual editor and IDE for designing, exploring, and documenting GraphQL schemas using a node-based visual graph alongside a Monaco-based code editor. It is distributed as an npm React component and a hosted/desktop app, with features like schema federation, mock backends, and a GraphQL playground.

## Use cases
- visualize a large GraphQL schema as a graph
- design a GraphQL schema with visual blocks instead of writing SDL
- explore and document GraphQL types for team onboarding
- build GraphQL queries with a tree-based query builder
- mock a GraphQL API from a schema for frontend development
- merge federated GraphQL schemas visually
- embed a read-only GraphQL schema viewer in docs

## When to choose
- you need to understand or onboard onto a large existing GraphQL schema
- you want to design schemas visually and export SDL
- you want an embeddable React GraphQL editor component
- you need schema mocking or federation visualization

## When to avoid
- you only need a lightweight GraphQL query runner like GraphiQL
- you need a full API management platform rather than schema tooling
- you require private team collaboration without a paid cloud plan
