Input-Output¶
Functions to save/load CDlib
communities to/from file.
CSV format¶
The easiest way to save the result of a community discovery algorithm is to organize it in a .csv file. The following methods allows to read/write communities to/from csv.
read_community_csv (path, delimiter, …) |
Read community list from comma separated value (csv) file. |
write_community_csv (communities, path, …) |
Save community structure to comma separated value (csv) file. |
Note
CSV formatting allows only to save/retrieve NodeClustering object loosing most of the metadata present in the CD computation result - e.g., algorithm name, parameters, coverage…
JSON format¶
JSON format allows to store/load community discovery algorithm results in a more comprehensive way.
read_community_json (path, compress) |
Read community list from JSON file. |
write_community_json (communities, path, compress) |
Generate a JSON representation of the clustering object |
Note
JSON formatting allows only to save/retrieve all kind of Clustering object maintaining all their metadata - except for the graph object instance.
