About:
Gephi is a visualization and exploration platform for all kinds of networks and complex systems, dynamic and hierarchical graphs. It provides a highly flexible architecture for developers to create customized plugins. Its key advantage is its ability to handle large network graphs in real-time, using a high-performance rendering engine.

Key Features:

Real-time visualization and manipulation of large graphs
Multiple layout algorithms (ForceAtlas, Yifan Hu, etc.)
Rich data import/export support (CSV, GEXF, GraphML)
Extensible via a modular plugin architecture

Use Cases:

Social network analysis and community detection
Exploring biological networks or cybersecurity logs
Visualizing link structures for SEO and web analysis

Alternatives:

Cytoscape – More focused on bioinformatics; Gephi is generally faster for large-scale visualization.
Graphviz – Command-line tool for static graph layout; Gephi offers an interactive GUI.
