With this app, you can import and export networks in CX JSON format from/to a file. As of June 2016, this format is used for data exchange between Cytoscape and [NDEx](https://www.ndexbio.org/) database, and eventually, this will be used by all other Cytoscape CI services. ### Use Cases CX is a new standard based on JSON. Your application can use a standard JSON reader to import files generated with this app, and your application should interpret the JSON according to the [CX Format Specification](https://www.cytoscape.org/cx). If you are planning to create Cytoscape CI services, you can use this app to generate test data from existing Cytoscape session files. ### CX Format Specification * [CX, the Cytoscape Cyberinfrastructure Network Interchange Format](https://www.cytoscape.org/cx) ## How to Use This app provides standard Cytoscape file readers and writers -- you can access CX import and export options from _File_ menu. ### Import CX * **FIle → Import → Network from File** and choose _cx2_ or _cx_ as file format. ### Export CX * Export network and visual information: * **FIle → Export → Network to File** and choose _cx2_ or _cx_ as file format.
