Hi, I’m looking for a package (or set of packages) that allow me to create a node graph editor, something like this:

So far, the closest package I found was the [ClmGui.jl](https://github.com/Gnimuc/CImGui.jl) package, a wrapper around [Dear ImGui](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui). This C++ package has an extension, the [Node Editor in ImGui](https://github.com/thedmd/imgui-node-editor), but I don’t know if there’s a wrapper package on this functionality, yet, and I have no idea on how to perform this myself.

Any tips or ideas on how to implement such a functionality in Julia? As a starter point, I simply wanted to visualize the graph, maybe return a json description of what nodes are attached to each nodes, etc.
