GEXF
GEXF (Graph Exchange XML Format) is an XML-based file format designed for representing complex network data, including nodes, edges, and their attributes. It is primarily used for storing and exchanging graph structures in applications like network analysis, social network visualization, and data science workflows. The format supports features such as hierarchical graphs, dynamic networks, and rich metadata, making it versatile for various graph-related tasks.
Developers should learn GEXF when working with graph data in tools like Gephi, Cytoscape, or network analysis libraries, as it provides a standardized way to import and export network structures. It is particularly useful for projects involving social network analysis, biological networks, or any domain where visualizing and analyzing relationships between entities is key, ensuring interoperability across different software platforms.
