Find a good graph modeling software

[christabor]

This will be used to visually model the domain. But we need to seamlessly export and test the model using a graph database.

The data file also needs to be stored in git, hence the need for readable text in a common format

Requirements

• Needs to be free (no trial)
• Performant (at least 1000s of nodes, edges, labels per graph)
• allow exporting/importing to a parseable non binary format (e.g. json)

Nice to have

• Supports exporting to .dot graphviz specification
