networkx/networkx Alternatives
network analysis / graph algorithms
NetworkX is a Python package for creating, manipulating, and analyzing complex networks, providing graph data structures and graph algorithms.
Same job, different approach
Solves the same problem with a different architecture or at a different layer. Expect to rewrite the integration.
networkit/networkitGitHub
High-performance C++ core with Python interface; choose for large graphs when pure-Python NetworkX speed is insufficient.
NetworKit is a growing open-source toolkit for large-scale network analysis.

Older generation, or narrower
An earlier or more limited way to do the job. Still the right call when you need something small, proven, or CPU-only.

These projects were analysed and named networkx among their alternatives. The relationship is not symmetric — how networkx rates them is a separate judgement, made when networkx is analysed in its own right.
