Network visualization tool?

Let's say I did the work of gathering L2 neighbors throughout my network. Let's say I wrote a REST API where you could query a hostname and it would return a JSON list of all the neighbors.

How can I visualize this data, so that someone could pick a hostname and it would recursively call this API to get the neighbors 3-4 layers deep? I would want it to look like a "star" expanding outwards.

I see there are a number of JavaScript libraries (plotly, d3, others?) That can possibly visualize this type of node-link data. I'm curious if anyone has experience doing this kind of thing?
