GraphML Viewer

Preview and explore .graphml files directly inside VS Code.

GraphML Viewer lets you open a side-by-side, interactive graph view with layouts, search, click-to-source, and PNG export.

Get started

1. Install GraphML Viewer from the VS Code Marketplace
2. Press Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+P (macOS) to open the Command Palette
3. Run “GraphML: Open Preview”
4. Open a .graphml file (or run the command from an open .graphml tab)

Features

• Instant preview of .graphml in an interactive panel
• Layouts: cose (force), grid, concentric, breadth-first

Usage tips

• Use the toolbar to switch layouts, fit the view, search by id, and export PNG
• Large graphs: start with grid or breadth-first, then try force layout
