Import Data

When you enter a project’s graph space for the first time, it will be empty. You can import data to the project canvas from many different sources, including:

  • Import by drag and drop. Files you can drag and drop include CSV or Excel files, JSON files, and data views exported as a CSV or Excel archive, a .graphxr file, or a .graphxrsnapshots archive.

  • Query a Graph Database. You can perform no-code query in the project Query / Search bar, use the Expand tool to expand the graph through its relationships, pull by category or relationship, or enter and run a Cypher or GQL query.

  • Query a CSV file.

  • Query a connected SQL database and import the resulting table as graph data.

    For a CSV file or a SQL table, GraphXR’s Mapping Editor lets you transform the data in a single table according to a graph model you specify.

  • Query a JSON file or perform a Gremlin query on a suitable connected database.

  • Load a project’s data View and access Shared views.

  • For Enterprise users, advanced GraphXR extensions are available to import data from a variety of graph or composite databases, and to craft reproducible workflows for importing data.
