Visualizing JanusGraph
Building visualization tools for JanusGraph
Visualize JanusGraph with KeyLines
KeyLines is a JavaScript graph visualization toolkit.
It provides a completely flexible way to build powerful, custom-designed graph visualization tools that work anywhere, on any device.
KeyLines integrates seamlessly with JanusGraph, making it easier than ever for you to explore and create effective JanusGraph visualizations from your data.
JanusGraph is an open source graph database — a successor of the Titan project. Like Titan, JanusGraph harnesses the Apache TinkerPopTM stack for scale and flexibility. It handles billions of edges and vertices across multi-machine clusters and works with a range of different persistence, analytic and index engines.
Its performance, reliability and flexibility make it a popular partner to the KeyLines graph visualization toolkit, with the two technologies integrating seamlessly in the graph application stack.

Yes, KeyLines comes with integrations for Vue and AngularJS. If you’re interested in building a graph visualization application in React, take a look at our ReGraph product instead.
Integration with the JanusGraph database using the Gremlin JavaScript client is quick and easy.
KeyLines is a JavaScript component, deployed to your web server and embedded in a webpage, accessed by your users using any modern web browser.
As they interact with the chart, events are raised – like click, drag or double-click. These then get transformed into a Gremlin graph query, via a jQuery AJAX request. JanusGraph receives the Gremlin query and returns the data as a JSON object. This data is then styled and rendered back in the KeyLines chart.
You can customize the events, how the data is added to the chart and the chart styling, meaning the full user experience and the interface is suited to your users’ needs.
