Store Graphs in the Graph Store

Learn how to create wrapper functions for reading and writing native graphs to the graph store.

Although we can enter the graph data interactively, it can get a little tiresome after a while. We’d rather read our graphs back from a filestore, so we'll need to be able to write the graphs out to some text format—that is, to serialize the graph data structures—for disk-based storage.

DOT vs. plaintext

The libgraph package includes two serialization functions in the Graph module: to_dot/1 and to_edgelist/1.
