feat: export findings to GraphML extension

[jclark1913]

Overview

Several investigations focused on Google Analytics IDs have visualized the relationships between UA codes and websites. Lawrence Alexander's 2015 Bellingcat piece comes to mind as a great example of this: he uses GraphML files and the yEd graph editor to neatly display the connections between websites.

It would be great to add support for the GraphML filetype to the project and allow users to export their findings to .graphml.

Solution

We would need to add .graphml as an export option then write the appropriate code to generate the file. networkx is a popular Python library for building .graphml files that might be a good choice for this feature.

While building out this feature it might be a good idea to group UA codes together even if the final digit doesn't match. For example: UA-12345-1 and UA-12345-2 are currently treated as different, but if we're mapping websites visually it likely best to have UA-12345 as its own node and each website sharing that part of the code be connected nodes. There is an example of this in the linked article above.
