## Shout Outs
- Special thanks to [Gatsby](http://gatsbyjs.com) and [WPEngine](https://wpengine.com) for allocating development resources to push the project forward!
- This plugin brings the power of GraphQL (http://graphql.org/) to WordPress.
- The plugin is built on top of the graphql-php library by Webonyx (https://github.com/webonyx/graphql-php) and makes use
of the graphql-relay-php library by Ivome (https://github.com/ivome/graphql-relay-php/)
- Some of the concepts and code are based on the WordPress Rest API. Much love to the folks (https://github.com/orgs/WP-API/people)
that put their blood, sweat and tears into the WP-API project, as it's been huge in moving WordPress forward as a
platform and helped inspire and direct the development of WPGraphQL.
- Much love to Facebook® for open sourcing the GraphQL spec (https://facebook.github.io/graphql/), the amazing GraphiQL
dev tools (https://github.com/graphql/graphiql), and maintaining the JavaScript GraphQL reference
implementation (https://github.com/graphql/graphql-js)
- Much love to Apollo (Meteor Development Group) for their work on driving GraphQL forward and providing a lot of insight
into how to design GraphQL schemas, etc. Check them out: http://www.apollodata.com/
