How to Build Interactive System Graphs with Graph App

Creating visual representations of system architecture helps teams understand complex relationships and dependencies. System Graph App transforms structured JSON data into interactive graphs that you can manipulate, explore, and export.

Quick Guide

Open System Graph App.
Use the built-in examples (Simple, Medium, Complex) to see different system configurations.
Paste your own JSON data in the editor panel following the required schema.
Click "Render Graph" to generate an interactive visualization.
Drag nodes to reposition, explore connections, and use the export feature to save your graph.

The app provides real-time feedback with node counts, connection statistics, and error messages for invalid JSON. It's perfect for creating visual documentation, onboarding materials, or architecture review presentations.

JSON Schema Example

{
  "project": { "name": "your-project-name" },
  "nodes": [
    { "id": "frontend", "label": "Frontend", "type": "frontend" },
    { "id": "backend", "label": "Backend API", "type": "backend" },
    { "id": "database", "label": "Database", "type": "database" }
  ],
  "edges": [
    { "from": "frontend", "to": "backend", "type": "api" },
    { "from": "backend", "to": "database", "type": "data" }
  ]
}

The tool supports five node types (frontend, backend, database, infra, external) with color-coded visualization and four edge types (api, data, build, runtime) to represent different relationship types.
