You can export your graphs to save them locally or share them with others.

Export as JSON

1. After generating your graph, look for the Export button in the Control Panel

2. Click Export JSON

3. Your graph will download as a JSON file

What is JSON?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a standard text format for storing structured data. It's:

Human-readable: You can open it in any text editor

Machine-readable: Easy to import into other tools and programs

Universal: Works across all platforms and programming languages

Lightweight: Small file size, easy to share via email or cloud storage

Think of it as a digital blueprint of your graph that any software can understand.

What's included in the export?

The JSON file contains:

All nodes: Labels, types, positions, and styling

All edges: Connections and relationships

Your original prompt: So you can recreate or modify the graph later

Domain: The context used for generation

Timestamp: When the graph was created

Why JSON?

JSON is the best format for graphs because:

• You can re-import it into Nodes.bio later

• Developers can use it in their own applications

• Data scientists can analyze it with Python, R, or other tools

• It preserves all the details of your graph perfectly

Why export?

Backup: Save your work locally

Share: Send graphs to colleagues or collaborators

Documentation: Include in reports or presentations

Version control: Track changes over time

Reproducibility: Recreate graphs with the same prompt
