Reset to default 7D3.js:
- won't scale up to more than a couple of hundreds of nodes/edges (SVG only)
- easy to use and customize if you aleasy know D3
Sigma.js:
- scales up to thousands of nodes/edges (using Canvas or WebGL renderers)
- easy to use and customize
- easy node/edge interactions
- lots of cool existing plugins
I strongly believe (and contributed to) a fork of Sigma.js called Linkurious.js. It fixes lots of issues and adds lots of cool plugins that make building network visualizations really easy.
