Network
The Network class represents a graph with nodes and links. Network objects are created by importing JSON files in a specific format using the graphjson function:
let network = await msc.graphjson("data.json");
A network is represented using two data tables, one for the nodes and one for the links (Figure 1). Mascot automatically infers the data type for each node attribute and link attribute, and parses the values accordingly.
