Functions to save/load CDlib
communities to/from file.
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.
.. automodule:: cdlib.readwrite
.. autosummary:: :toctree: generated/ read_community_csv write_community_csv
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 allows to store/load community discovery algorithm results in a more comprehensive way.
.. autosummary:: :toctree: generated/ read_community_json write_community_json
Note
JSON formatting allows only to save/retrieve all kind of Clustering object maintaining all their metadata - except for the graph object instance.
