Sigma.js is a JavaScript library for rendering interactive network graphs in the browser. It provides efficient WebGL rendering for large node-link diagrams, layout plugins, event handling, and customization via plugins and themes. Typical use cases include visual analytics, network exploration, graph-based UIs, and real-time monitoring dashboards.

Sigma.js is a JavaScript library for interactive network and graph visualization on the web.
Sigma.js was started in 2012 by Alexis Jacomy as an open-source project and is maintained by the community around jacomyal/sigma.js.
A graph supplies nodes and edges; Sigma.js computes and renders their view in Canvas/WebGL and connects it to interaction. The application keeps graph data and layout separately controllable.
Nodes and edges form the domain structure of the visualization.
Canvas or WebGL draws many visible graph objects efficiently.
Zoom, selection, and events connect the view to exploration.
Sigma.js fits exploratory graph interfaces. Layout, volume, legibility, keyboard access, and separation of visualization from domain analysis need careful design.
