General Network Editor, Advanced is a professional tool for designing, analyzing, and documenting complex networks of any kind. It blends an intuitive visual editor with robust validation and analytics, making it suitable for IT topologies, data and knowledge graphs, workflows, IoT deployments, and more.
Key capabilities
- Flexible modeling: Define custom node and edge types, attributes, and constraints to match your domain.
- Visual authoring: Drag-and-drop editing, smart snapping, layers, themes, and automatic layouts (hierarchical, orthogonal, force-directed, and radial).
- Analysis tools: Shortest paths, reachability, centrality metrics, impact and what-if analysis to identify bottlenecks and dependencies.
- Validation rules: Schema enforcement and rule-based linting to catch errors such as duplicates, broken links, and invalid references.
- Import and export: Round-trip data exchange with common formats (CSV, JSON, GraphML, YAML) and high-quality diagram exports (SVG, PNG, PDF).
- Collaboration and governance: Comments, change requests, role-based permissions, and version history with visual diffs for controlled edits and audits.
- Automation and scripting: Batch operations, templating, and scriptable workflows (e.g., Python or JavaScript) for repetitive tasks and configuration generation.
- Integration hooks: REST endpoints and webhooks for connecting to external catalogs, inventory systems, or CI/CD pipelines.
- Reporting: One-click topology reports, inventories, and change logs for reviews and documentation.
- Performance at scale: Efficient rendering and filtering to work smoothly with large graphs and dense topologies.
- Extensibility: Plugin support for custom validators, layouts, importers, and UI panels.
Typical use cases
- Network architecture design and documentation
- Data lineage and dependency mapping
- Knowledge and social graph modeling
- IoT and sensor network planning
- Workflow and process dependency diagrams
- Education and research in graph theory and systems design
Benefits
- Reduce design errors through guided validation
- Accelerate reviews, audits, and handovers with consistent documentation
- Maintain a single source of truth for evolving topologies
- Empower teams to collaborate without losing control over changes
