Command-line options

$ grandlite --help
usage: An interactive graph query tool for Cypher and other query languages.
       [-h] [-o {csv,json,jsonl}] [--query QUERY]
       [-l {cypher,dotmotif}]
       graph

positional arguments:
  graph                 The filename of the graph to load.

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -o {csv,json,jsonl}, --output {csv,json,jsonl}
                        The output format to use.
  --query QUERY         If not provided, enters an interactive prompt.
  -l {cypher,dotmotif}, --language {cypher,dotmotif}
                        The query language to use (default: cypher).

Examples

Non-interactively query a GraphML file and output the results as JSON

$ grandlite my-graph.graphml --query 'match (a)-[]->(b) where a.type <> 1 return a,b limit 10' -o json

Interactively query a graph file downloaded from the internet, automatically inferring the file format

Interactively query a graph file downloaded from the internet with DotMotif

$ grandlite https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chengw07/NetWalk/master/data/karate.GraphML --language dotmotif

dotmotif> A -> B [weight>1]
          A.Faction != B.Faction

|    | A   | B   |
|---:|:----|:----|
|  0 | n0  | n8  |
|  1 | n0  | n31 |
|  2 | n1  | n30 |
|  3 | n2  | n8  |
|  4 | n2  | n27 |
|  5 | n2  | n28 |
|  6 | n2  | n32 |
|  7 | n8  | n0  |
|  8 | n8  | n2  |
|  9 | n13 | n33 |
| 10 | n27 | n2  |
| 11 | n28 | n2  |
| 12 | n30 | n1  |
| 13 | n31 | n0  |
| 14 | n32 | n2  |
| 15 | n33 | n13 |

Advanced Examples

Search motifs with DotMotif with a query argument, and post-process results with jq

grandlite https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chengw07/NetWalk/master/data/karate.GraphML --language dotmotif -o jsonl --query 'A->B [weight>5]' | jq '.A'
