Open xgmml file extension of the graph of arangoDB

How to open .xgmml file? I have exported the graph from arango using arangoexport, the extension is .xgmml I need to know: how can I open this file? I have tried cytoscape, but it doesn't work, it messages me that cannot recognize .xgmml file.

Solution

  • If you get this error message:

    Cytoscape does not recognize files with suffix .xgmml

    then you probably tried to open your .xgmml file with the Open Session button: Folder icon

    This is the same as File > Open... in the menu. It only opens Cytoscape *.cys files.

    To load a graph from an XGMML file, you need to use the Import Network From File button: Import graph icon

    This is the same as File > Import > Network > File... in the menu. It supports various formats, including *.xgmml:

    Cytoscape import network dialog

    Select your file and open it. It should load the graph without problems.
