/**
* An interface for graph-structured data,
* whose edges are unique objects.
*
* A graph is composed of a set of nodes and a set of edges connecting pairs of nodes.
*
*
There are three primary interfaces provided to represent graphs. In order of increasing
* complexity they are: {@link Graph}, {@link ValueGraph}, and {@link Network}. You should generally
* prefer the simplest interface that satisfies your use case. See the
* "Choosing the right graph type" section of the Guava User Guide for more details.
*
*
Capabilities
*
* {@code Network} supports the following use cases (definitions of
* terms):
*
*
* - directed graphs
*
- undirected graphs
*
- graphs that do/don't allow parallel edges
*
- graphs that do/don't allow self-loops
*
- graphs whose nodes/edges are insertion-ordered, sorted, or unordered
*
- graphs whose edges are unique objects
*
*
* Building a {@code Network}
*
* The implementation classes that {@code common.graph} provides are not public, by design. To
* create an instance of one of the built-in implementations of {@code Network}, use the {@link
* NetworkBuilder} class:
*
*
{@code
* MutableNetwork graph = NetworkBuilder.directed().build();
* }
*
* {@link NetworkBuilder#build()} returns an instance of {@link MutableNetwork}, which is a
* subtype of {@code Network} that provides methods for adding and removing nodes and edges. If you
* do not need to mutate a graph (e.g. if you write a method than runs a read-only algorithm on the
* graph), you should use the non-mutating {@link Network} interface, or an {@link
* ImmutableNetwork}.
*
*
You can create an immutable copy of an existing {@code Network} using {@link
* ImmutableNetwork#copyOf(Network)}:
*
*
{@code
* ImmutableNetwork immutableGraph = ImmutableNetwork.copyOf(graph);
* }
*
* Instances of {@link ImmutableNetwork} do not implement {@link MutableNetwork} (obviously!) and
* are contractually guaranteed to be unmodifiable and thread-safe.
*
*
The Guava User Guide has more
* information on (and examples of) building graphs.
*
*
Additional documentation
*
* See the Guava User Guide for the {@code common.graph} package ("Graphs Explained") for
* additional documentation, including:
*
*
* -
* {@code equals()}, {@code hashCode()}, and graph equivalence
*
-
* Synchronization policy
*
- Notes
* for implementors
