Inventing a json graph standard for some future tests

README.md

My JSON Graph Standard

There are two main fields:

• "nodes" contains a list of all nodes
• "connections" contains a list of all the connections between the nodes

Nodes

Nodes must have an "id", a "type" and store extra information in a "value" field.

Connections

Connections must have a "from" and a "to" field to indicate the id of the node of the connection relative start and end. Other informations about the connection must go in the "value" field.

TODO

• ElectronJS based JSON graph file viewer.
• A more compact file format to save a bit of space.
• Fix compact file format to include data owners.
