Is it possible to load a local graphSON file to this software?

[texzone]

The point of this issue is to offer to me, and perhaps others, some guide as to how to load data into this. Let us assume a have a graph.json file that has contents as such:

{
    "mode":"EXTENDED",
    "vertices": [
        {
            "name": {
                "type": "string",
                "value": "lop"
            },
            "lang": {
                "type": "string",
                "value": "java"
            },
            "_id": "3",
            "_type": "vertex"
        },
        {
            "name": {
                "type": "string",
                "value": "vadas"
            },
            "age": {
                "type": "integer",
                "value": 27
            },
            "_id": "2",
            "_type": "vertex"
        },
        {
            "name": {
                "type": "string",
                "value": "marko"
            },
            "age": {
                "type": "integer",
                "value": 29
            },

            "_type": "vertex"
        },
        {

            "_id": "6",
            "_type": "vertex"
        },
        {
            "name": {

    ]
}

If I wanted to load this file onto the graph, there seems to be two general options available:

1. Load this file locally somehow (through a file explorer, etc). This does NOT seem to be an available option.

2. Send this file through the gremlin server. I saw the commands used for docker with the demo graph, but I have no idea how the graphSON file was... "dockerized".

Essentially, what I am asking is, if I wanted to send this file above to the graph, what is the simplest way to do so?

No, it is not possible at the moment. It could be adapted but I do not have the time for that. If you want to contribute you are welcome.

Would it be as simple a change as changing how we receive the json info? So, instead of receiving some json data from the gremlin server, we just load up the entire json file? I imagine some other parts would have to change to, since the script doesn’t seem to be loading the entire json data, just specific parts. Or is it way more complicated?

[bricaud]

To explore a graph in a json file there are already some tools available, like Gephi or sigma.js if you want to code in javascript. It will be faster for you than creating a pluggin for Graphexp. That is also why I did not develop anything to handle json.
