GraphQL query in PHP without libraries

Is it possible to convert an array or an object in PHP to a GraphQL query without importing a library?
I'm hoping for something that works like json_encode does for JSON.
e.g.
$array['products']['edges']['node']['handle'] = true;
$graphql = graphql_encode($array);
echo $graphql; // prints: {products(first: 10) { edges { node { handle }}}}
Maybe this would always be an oversimplification (e.g. I'm not quite sure how "(first: 10)" would be added to the array).
But I'm just looking for a simple way to start experimenting with GraphQL (and I don't have access to SSH or Composer on my shared hosting so it's not easy for me to add the right libraries).

I would suggest setting up local dev environment with WAMP/LAMP/MAMP to experiment with new stuff. Then you would have full access to all the tools and libs

The standard GraphQL HTTP interface is fairly simple and if you can make JSON-over-HTTP calls you don't strictly speaking need a GraphQL client library.

@EriksKlotins Thanks, I'm thinking about using my local dev to get the library and then upload via ftp. I'd like to start using it live as soon as possible.

@DavidMaze I'm not sure I understand what you mean. If you are suggesting that I just type out the queries, then that's always a possibility, but seems kind of silly to have to do that. That's how I did JSON to begin with, but not the best way when I'm doing something a bit more complicated.

Typical GraphQL usage in most languages in fact involves actually writing out the queries. ("Like SQL", if that's a helpful analogy.) A full-featured GraphQL library might have an object model for it but using that tends to be more complex and involves knowing GraphQL in detail anyways.
