Overview
gql_link provides a modular, AST-based interface for executing GraphQL requests in Dart applications. Built for flexibility and extensibility, it enables developers to construct and manage GraphQL operations through an abstract syntax tree (AST), supporting custom middleware and request handling. Designed with performance and maintainability in mind, it integrates seamlessly into Flutter apps across multiple platforms. The package is part of the broader gql-dart ecosystem, promoting clean separation between query execution and network logic.
