    ... -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"query": "{ users { name } }"}'? No. Why would you do that when you can just do ... --json '{"query": "{ users { name } }"}'. Yeah curl is awesome.

        I believe they are just pointing out a more concise cli option. No value judgment included as far as I can tell.
