Hi,  
I work with graphs and would like to know which package in Julia is user friendly. I googled to find - Junet, however there are errors that keep popping.

Looking for suggestions.

Thanks!

I’m a bit biased, but [LightGraphs](https://github.com/JuliaGraphs/LightGraphs.jl) is designed to be easy to use and performant. If you need metadata with your graphs, you can check out [MetaGraphs](https://github.com/JuliaGraphs/MetaGraphs.jl) which provides an alternate graph structure (at some – but not much – performance cost, mainly in terms of memory usage).
