XML networks formats

Various formats have been developped to exchange networks data. Some of them allows to exchange layout informations with the data.

Graph Exchange XML Format (GEXF)

https://gephi.org/gexf/format/](https://gephi.org/gexf/format/

GEXF (Graph Exchange XML Format) is a language for describing complex networks structures, their associated data and dynamics. Started in 2007 at Gephi project by different actors, deeply involved in graph exchange issues, the gexf specifications are mature enough to claim being both extensible and open, and suitable for real specific applications.

The format is supported by Gephi, SigmaJS, Networks, but not completly with JuliaLang and by using a plugin with Cytoscape.

GraphML (GraphML)

http://graphml.graphdrawing.org/](http://graphml.graphdrawing.org/ [Broken], see : https://web.archive.org/web/20200511231546/http://graphml.graphdrawing.org/

This format specified in 2001 is quite obsolete but it is supported by many applications (Cytoscape, Gephi, yEd, NetworkX, JuliaLang, etc.). The schema doesn‘t really take advantage of the XML data model compared to GEXF format.

Directed Graph Markup Language (DGML)

http://schemas.microsoft.com/vs/2009/dgml/

DGML is an XML format XML for oriented graphs. It is specified with an XML Schema and was implemented in Visual Studio in 2010.

Documentation : https://docs.microsoft.com/fr-fr/visualstudio/modeling/customize-code-maps-by-editing-the-dgml-files

Schema : http://schemas.microsoft.com/vs/2009/dgml/dgml.xsd

XGMML eXtensible Graph Markup and Modelling Language

http://cgi7.cs.rpi.edu/research/groups/pb/punin/public\_html/XGMML/ [broken]

The purpose of XGMML was to make possible the exchange of graphs between differents authoring and browsing tools for graphs. This format was specified with an DTD and an XML Schema in 2001.
