About Zazuko Graph Explorer
Zazuko Graph Explorer is a browser-based tool for exploring RDF graphs, built on top of SPARQL endpoints and developed by Zazuko. It offers a visual graph canvas, table/JSON results, and shareable query links, focusing on ease of use for linked data.
Summary
For most teams building with RDF, the two tools serve complementary roles. Zazuko Graph Explorer is for the front end, making graph data browseable for end users and domain experts. gdotv owns the back end, supporting engineers who build and maintain data pipelines and query logic. Make your decision based on whether your focus is on visualization and publishing, or on query development and analysis.

In conclusion
Amir Hosseini
Data Scientist
Zazuko Graph Explorer and gdotv answer genuinely different questions. Graph Explorer asks: how do we make RDF data visually accessible to users who cannot or should not write SPARQL? gdotv asks: how do we give developers and data engineers the most productive environment for working with graph databases? Those two questions rarely need the same answer.
