<h2>Features</h2>
<p>
The MOEA Framework aims to provide a comprehensive collection of algorithms and
tools for single and multiobjective optimization. This page lists the key features of
the MOEA Framework. For more information, see our online documentation.

<h3>Algorithms</h3>
<p>The MOEA Framework has the largest collection of EAs and MOEAs of any library. In
addition to these pre-defined algorithms, new algorithms can be easily constructed
using existing components.</p>
