ngraph.gexf

Gephi gexf file parser for server and browser. This library is a part of ngraph project. See demo here: Talking with Gephi


usage

This library allows you to load gexf files into ngraph.graph.

`` js
var fs = require('fs');
var gexf = require('ngraph.gexf');
var graph = gexf.load(fs.readFileSync('myfile.gexf', 'utf8'));
// graph is now normal grpah and can be used by ngraph modules
`

You can also store graph into gexf file format:
` js
var gexf = require('ngraph.gexf');

var binTree = require('ngraph.generators').balancedBinTree(5);
var gexfFileContent = gexf.save(binTree);
`

Details


This library supports node.js and browser runtime (via browserify).
When used from node.js it uses libxmljs library for quick parsing of xml files.
When used in a browser it uses browser's capabilities to read and query xml files.

Because of this, library size is really small when served in the browser:

* 24kb - unminified
* 13kb - minified
* 4kb - gzipped

Current implementation is really basic and does not support some of the gexf features:
* Dynamics - https://gephi.org/gexf/format/dynamics.html
* Hierarchy - https://gephi.org/gexf/format/hierarchy.html
* Phylogeny - https://gephi.org/gexf/format/phylogeny.html

Adding Hierarchy and Phylogeny is relatively easy and they will be implemented
if such need arise. Dynamics - requires to think a little bit to better represent
graph's timeline.

install
