Thanks for raising the issue @Clasherzz This feature will definitely be very useful

In GraphQL, the standard practice is to provide variables in the form of JSON. So, a simple JSON text editor (like that for JSON content-type request body) should be preferred.

Instead of parsing form inputs, handling type conversions and rebuilding the json, this will be more efficient.

And, it will also pave way for other graphQL features like filters & mutation.
