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 <a * href="https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/GraphsExplained#choosing-the-right-graph-type"> * "Choosing the right graph type"</a> section of the Guava User Guide for more details. * * <h3>Capabilities</h3> * * <p>{@code ValueGraph} supports the following use cases (<a * href="https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/GraphsExplained#definitions">definitions of * terms</a>): * * <ul> * <li>directed graphs * <li>undirected graphs * <li>graphs that do/don't allow self-loops * <li>graphs whose nodes/edges are insertion-ordered, sorted, or unordered * <li>graphs whose edges have associated values * </ul> * * <p>{@code ValueGraph}, as a subtype of {@code Graph}, explicitly does not support parallel edges, * and forbids implementations or extensions with parallel edges. If you need parallel edges, use * {@link Network}. (You can use a positive {@code Integer} edge value as a loose representation of * edge multiplicity, but the {@code *degree()} and mutation methods will not reflect your * interpretation of the edge value as its multiplicity.) * * <h3>Building a {@code ValueGraph}</h3> * * <p>The implementation classes that `common.graph` provides are not public, by design. To create * an instance of one of the built-in implementations of {@code ValueGraph}, use the {@link * ValueGraphBuilder} class: * * <pre>{@code * MutableValueGraph<Integer, Double> graph = ValueGraphBuilder.directed().build(); * }</pre> * * <p>{@link ValueGraphBuilder#build()} returns an instance of {@link MutableValueGraph}, which is a * subtype of {@code ValueGraph} 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 ValueGraph} interface, or an {@link * ImmutableValueGraph}. * * <p>You can create an immutable copy of an existing {@code ValueGraph} using {@link * ImmutableValueGraph#copyOf(ValueGraph)}: * * <pre>{@code * ImmutableValueGraph<Integer, Double> immutableGraph = ImmutableValueGraph.copyOf(graph); * }</pre> * * <p>Instances of {@link ImmutableValueGraph} do not implement {@link MutableValueGraph} * (obviously!) and are contractually guaranteed to be unmodifiable and thread-safe. * * <p>The Guava User Guide has <a * href="https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/GraphsExplained#building-graph-instances">more * information on (and examples of) building graphs</a>. * * <h3>Additional documentation</h3> * * <p>See the Guava User Guide for the {@code common.graph} package (<a * href="https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/GraphsExplained">"Graphs Explained"</a>) for * additional documentation, including: * * <ul> * <li><a * href="https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/GraphsExplained#equals-hashcode-and-graph-equivalence"> * {@code equals()}, {@code hashCode()}, and graph equivalence</a> * <li><a href="https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/GraphsExplained#synchronization"> * Synchronization policy</a> * <li><a href="https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/GraphsExplained#notes-for-implementors">Notes * for implementors</a> * </ul> * * @author James Sexton * @author Joshua O'Madadhain * @param <N> Node parameter type * @param <V> Value parameter type * @since 20.0 */ // TODO(b/35456940): Update the documentation to reflect the new interfaces @Beta public interface ValueGraph<N, V> extends BaseGraph<N> { // // ValueGraph-level accessors // /** {@inheritDoc} */ @Override Set<N> nodes(); /** {@inheritDoc} */ @Override Set<EndpointPair<N>> edges(); /** * Returns a live view of this graph as a {@link Graph}.
