NetworkX
Introduction
NetworkX is a Python language software package for the creation, manipulation, and study of the structure, dynamics, and functions of complex networks [1], [2]. NetworkX is free software released under the BSD-new license.
Features- Classes for graphs and digraphs.
- Conversion of graphs to and from several formats.
- Ability to construct random graphs or construct them incrementally.
- Ability to find subgraphs, cliques, k-cores.
- Explore adjacency, degree, diameter, radius, center, betweenness, etc.
- Draw networks in 2D and 3D.
Tutorials, examples
This post describes how to use the Python library NetworkX, to deal with network data and solve interesting problems in network analysis [3].

JavaScript implementation
JSNetworkX is a port of the popular Python graph library NetworkX [9]. JSNetworkX aims to bring graph processing to JavaScript, client- and server-side, and to provide an easy way to visualize graphs in the browser.
