As the designer of MQL (Metaweb/Freebase's query language) which is a GraphQL like language on top of a graph database, I'm always surprised by other graph query languages. Since JSON represents a tree easily, it a natural model for non-cyclic queries.

Using JSON for the template also leads to a clear correspondence between the query and the result which is a very nice property few query languages have.
