cdlib.readwrite.write_lifecycle_json

cdlib.readwrite.write_lifecycle_json(lifecycle: LifeCycle, path: str, compress: bool = False)

Save lifecycle structure to JSON file.

Parameters:

• lifecycle – a LifeCycle object

• path – output filename

• compress – wheter to copress the JSON, default False

Returns:

a JSON formatted string representing the object

Example:

>>> from cdlib import LifeCycle, TemporalClustering
>>> from cdlib import algorithms
>>> from networkx.generators.community import LFR_benchmark_graph
>>> from cdlib.readwrite import write_lifecycle_json, read_lifecycle_json
>>> tc = TemporalClustering()
>>> for t in range(0, 10):
>>>     g = LFR_benchmark_graph(
>>>             n=250,
>>>             tau1=3,
>>>             tau2=1.5,
>>>             mu=0.1,
>>>             average_degree=5,
>>>             min_community=20,
>>>             seed=10,
>>>     )
>>>     coms = algorithms.louvain(g)  # here any CDlib algorithm can be applied
>>>     tc.add_clustering(coms, t)
>>>
>>> events = LifeCycle(tc)
>>> events.compute_events("facets")
>>> write_lifecycle_json(events, "lifecycle.json")
