Social Network Graph (GEXF)
The same 12-person social network in GEXF 1.3 (Gephi's native format) — node attributes and weighted edges. The format twin of the GraphML file, for testing Gephi imports and GraphML↔GEXF conversion.

What is a .gexf file?
GEXF (Graph Exchange XML Format) is an XML format for graphs created for the Gephi network-analysis tool. It describes nodes and edges with attributes and also supports dynamic (time-evolving) graphs and visual properties like position and colour. It is a common interchange format alongside GraphML.
How to use this file
Use an example GEXF file to test network importers and visualisers (especially Gephi), and converters between GEXF and GraphML, or to check that node/edge attributes and weights are parsed correctly.
