Convert GRAPHML to GRAPHMLZ

Understanding GraphML and GraphMLZ file formats

GraphML is an XML-based file format designed for describing graphs. It is widely used for representing structural information, such as nodes and edges, in a machine-readable format. GraphML files are typically used in applications that require graph data visualization and analysis.

GraphMLZ is a compressed version of the GraphML file format. It uses ZIP compression to reduce the file size, making it more efficient for storage and transfer. GraphMLZ files are particularly useful when dealing with large graph datasets, as they maintain the same structural information as GraphML files but in a more compact form.

How to convert GraphML to GraphMLZ

Converting a GraphML file to a GraphMLZ file involves compressing the original GraphML file. This can be done using various software tools that support graph data formats.
