Convert SVG to GRAPHML

What is SVG file?

The SVG file extension stands for Scalable Vector Graphics, and is a type of two-dimensional file used to add animation and static graphics to webpages. The graphics are a part of the Open XML standard developed by the World Wide Web Consortium, meaning that images can be shared between multiple web browsers. It supports multiple vector and raster graphic formats, including text, images, 3D graphics, and animation. [ ⏩ ] SVG file extension

What is GRAPHML file?

GraphML .GRAPHML is an XML-based file format for graphs. It is commonly used to store and exchange graph structure data between different applications. Originally developed by Grapheine, the GraphML standard was adopted by many tools and libraries, such as yEd3, that use the format to share graph data. GraphML files are typically used to represent networks, flowcharts, user interfaces, timelines, genealogies, social networks and diagrams. [ ⏩ ] GRAPHML file extension

How to convert the file from SVG to GRAPHML?

To successfully convert the SVG file to GRAPHML, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.SVG). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case GRAPHML (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than GRAPHML).

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. SVG to GRAPHML. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting SVG files to GRAPHML files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension GRAPHML, while before this step we had the SVG file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new GRAPHML file, or not.
