Best Open Source Visualization Software for Neo4J?

Question

What is the best Open Source visualization software for Neo4J? By best, I mean: * Fully featured * Open Source * Still being developed/supported for latest Neo4J stable release * Interactive

I've tried the data browser in Neo4J's web admin, but get the impression there are many other offerings at: http://www.neo4j.org/develop/visualize

I've spent some time looking at offerings there, but it looks like many offerings are either no longer supported for the latest Neo4J stable release, are still under development, or are not Open Source.

I've been looking at Neoclipse and Gephi, but: * Can't tell if Neoclipse is really very widely used * Don't know how robust graphML export from Gremlin is (the Gephi Neo4J plugin seems oriented towards the older Neo4J v1.5; also Gephi can't display multiple relationships between nodes (though it can count them).

Any shared wisdom would be happily accepted!

Answer 1

VivaGraphJS is one available choice. Max De Marzi frequently blogs about visualizing the graphs so see if you can find others.

Answer 2

There are a few open-source visualization software for Neo4j. I recommend :

• Gephi : it allows visualization and SNA. It has a great community (https://gephi.org)
• Cytoscape : it is mostly used for bioinformatics but it is a great platform to work with graph data (http://www.cytoscape.org/)

There are less featured alternatives :

• Neovigator : a tool to visually explore graphs (https://github.com/maxdemarzi/neovigator)
• Neoclipse : you can view and edit your data (https://github.com/neo4j-contrib/neoclipse)
• D3.js : a data visualization library
• Sigma.js, VivaGraphJS : graph visualization libraries, both compatible with WebGL
