GEXF (Graph Exchange XML Format) serialization support.
Provides functions to serialize and deserialize graphs in GEXF format, the native format of Gephi and supported by many other graph visualization tools.
GEXF is an XML-based format that supports:
- Nodes with typed attributes
- Edges with typed attributes and weights
- Directed and undirected graphs
- Visual attributes (viz namespace): color, size, position
- Dynamic graphs (not yet supported)
Performance
Uses Saxy for fast streaming SAX parsing when available (same as GraphML).
Falls back to :xmerl otherwise.

Functions
Returns default GEXF serialization options.
The options control data formatting:

safe_string/1) - edge_formatter: Function to convert edge IDs to strings (default:
safe_string/1)
