About Stanford Network Analysis Project
The Stanford Network Analysis Project (SNAP) is a research site from Stanford that provides tools and data for network analysis and graph mining. It offers the Stanford Network Analysis Platform library in C++, a Python interface called Snap.py, and the Stanford Large Network Dataset Collection.
You can download the C++ library and Snap.py with documentation, manipulate large graphs, calculate structural properties, generate regular and random graphs, and work with attributes on nodes and edges. You can also download more than 50 network datasets covering social networks, web graphs, road networks, internet networks, citation networks, collaboration networks, and communication networks.
It suits students, researchers, and developers who work with large graph data in C++ or Python and need example datasets, papers, and tutorials on network structure and analysis.
