but there are a number of libraries available
not listed above -> Netflix DGS also provides a client
*disclaimer: I am one of the maintainers of
graphql-kotlinlooks like I need to update the docs on the graphql.org as we simplified the config :)

Apollo is probably the most popular client with some advanced features (like caching) built in

In grapqhl-kotlin we went with thin wrappers on top of existing clients (like Spring Webclient and Ktor HttpClient) where you can configure clients directly (eg add whatever interceptors etc)
