I have a json file containing network data that I'd like to visualize using a network visualization software like Gephi. But Gephi does not accept this type of files. Is there a way to convert the json file or are there any other network visualization softwares out there that can? I am a Mac user.

You need to use networkx in Python, construct your graph and Export your graph in a format that Gephi can load such as gexfor graphml. See the link for examples of the supported formats. Apparently R is an option, too, provided that igraph has a json reader

Visjs can import Gephi JSON and display it as a graph/network:

You probably could adapt your JSON to fit this format.

  • "Gephi JSON" - does Gephi support a JSON based file format then? – AnnanFay May 09 '20 at 00:31

    @AnnanFay this was 2017, I do not remember how it work, but you can have a look here: https://datastorm-open.github.io/visNetwork/more.html and here: https://gephi.org/users/supported-graph-formats/ It does not look like Gephi is importing JSON but it may export it. – Christophe Roussy May 10 '20 at 14:26
