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 Graph} 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 * </ul> * * <p>{@code Graph} explicitly does not support parallel edges, and forbids implementations or * extensions with parallel edges. If you need parallel edges, use {@link Network}. * * <h3>Building a {@code Graph}</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 Graph}, use the {@link GraphBuilder} * class: * * <pre>{@code * MutableGraph<Integer> graph = GraphBuilder.undirected().build(); * }</pre> * * <p>{@link GraphBuilder#build()} returns an instance of {@link MutableGraph}, which is a subtype * of {@code Graph} 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 Graph} interface, or an {@link ImmutableGraph}. * * <p>You can create an immutable copy of an existing {@code Graph} using {@link * ImmutableGraph#copyOf(Graph)}: * * <pre>{@code * ImmutableGraph<Integer> immutableGraph = ImmutableGraph.copyOf(graph); * }</pre> * * <p>Instances of {@link ImmutableGraph} do not implement {@link MutableGraph} (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 * @since 20.0 */ @Beta public interface Graph<N> { // // Graph-level accessors // /** Returns all nodes in this graph, in the order specified by {@link #nodeOrder()}. */ Set<N> nodes(); /** Returns all edges in this graph. */ Set<EndpointPair<N>> edges(); // // Graph properties // /** * Returns true if the edges in this graph are directed.
