Thoughts from the gdotv team

” Apache AGE Viewer is a free and open source platform that offers simple, straightforward visualization functionality, and it’s good at it. If all you want is to get a first look at your Apache AGE data, then Apache AGE Viewer may be all you need. If you want a more powerful and accessible client that helps you manage complex queries and lets you get hands-on with your data and visualization, you may find gdotv a better fit. It’s a fully integrated graph IDE designed for developers across the industry.”
