97% of all GRAPHML files belong to GraphML graph. The files are using the common file format XML. The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple text-based format for representing structured information: documents, webpages, data, configuration, books, transactions, invoices, and much more. XML defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. The content consists of readable text data, which can be read using a text editor. The average file size is 75 KB with most files being between 9 KB and 420 KB in size. It is a modern file type. The following keywords are characteristic: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> and <graphml xmlns="http://graphml.graphdrawing.org/xmlns" xmlns:java="http://www.yworks.com/xml/yfiles-common/1.0/java" xmlns:sys="http://www.ywork.
