networkx-gdf

NetworkX-GDF extends the NetworkX library to support GDF (Graph Data Format) files.

It provides two functions to read and write GDF files, which are used to store graph data in a tabular format. The package is designed to be lightweight on requirements and easy to use.

Install

The package supports Python 3.7++ and is readily available from PyPI:

$ pip install networkx-gdf

Quick start

The following is a quick example of the package in action, covering its basic functionality.

>>> from networkx_gdf import read_gdf, write_gdf
>>>
>>> # Reads NetworkX graph object from file.
>>> G = read_gdf("input_file.gdf")
>>>
>>> # Writes NetworkX graph object to file.
>>> write_gdf(G, "output_file.gdf")

For details on the functions above and the package’s usage, please refer to the API Reference page.
