Scalability of Cytoscape.js

Question

I have a 11MB JSON graph file with about 45K edges and 73K nodes without x, y locations, and I want to display this graph using the BFS layout. I am using promise/defer

Answer 1

We display a graph from a 5.4 MB JSON file with predefined coordinates on different browsers with great performance. Is there a specific reason for not precalculating the coordinates (e.g. in Cytoscape desktop)?

To increase rendering performance:

• use haystack edges
• provide "min-zoomed-font-size" for nodes and edges
• hide non-selected edge labels
• use batches for series of operations
