Expand Network Import format #64

Open dotasek opened 6 years ago

dotasek commented 6 years ago

POST /v1/networks does not support the following formats:

[ ] BioPAX
[ ] XGMML
[ ] CSV/TSV/TXT
[ ] Excel
[ ] GML
[ ] GPML
[ ] GEXF
[ ] GraphML
[ ] NNF
[ ] OBO
[ ] PSI-MI 1
[ ] PSI-MI 2.5
[ ] SBML
[ ] SIF
[ ] Empty - should generate an empty network

Note that some of these (I'm looking at TSV/CSV) require unique parameters to function, which the current v1 endpoint does not support.

This is related to #66 in that we're trying to do a lot of work with a file, stream, or url, AND support the existing JSON formats from the RESTful endpoints.

Getting this to make sense might be a struggle.

This, along with #66, could be taken care of by using some of the code used in the drag and drop functionality.
