+**isValidGraphQLQuery(str)**            | check if the string is valid graphql query (note: uses parse function from graphql package).
 **isHalfWidth(str)**                    | check if the string contains any half-width chars.
 **isHash(str, algorithm)**              | check if the string is a hash of type algorithm.<br/><br/>Algorithm is one of `['crc32', 'crc32b', 'md4', 'md5', 'ripemd128', 'ripemd160', 'sha1', 'sha256', 'sha384', 'sha512', 'tiger128', 'tiger160', 'tiger192']`.
