In order of increasing 032 * complexity they are: {@link Graph}, {@link ValueGraph}, and {@link Network}. You should generally 033 * prefer the simplest interface that satisfies your use case. See the <a 034 * href="https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/GraphsExplained#choosing-the-right-graph-type"> 035 * "Choosing the right graph type"</a> section of the Guava User Guide for more details. 036 * 037 * <h3>Capabilities</h3> 038 * 039 * <p>{@code Network} supports the following use cases (<a 040 * href="https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/GraphsExplained#definitions">definitions of 041 * terms</a>): 042 * 043 * <ul> 044 * <li>directed graphs 045 * <li>undirected graphs 046 * <li>graphs that do/don't allow parallel edges 047 * <li>graphs that do/don't allow self-loops 048 * <li>graphs whose nodes/edges are insertion-ordered, sorted, or unordered 049 * <li>graphs whose edges are unique objects 050 * </ul> 051 * 052 * <h3>Building a {@code Network}</h3> 053 * 054 * <p>The implementation classes that `common.graph` provides are not public, by design. To create 055 * an instance of one of the built-in implementations of {@code Network}, use the {@link 056 * NetworkBuilder} class: 057 * 058 * <pre>{@code 059 * MutableNetwork<Integer, MyEdge> graph = NetworkBuilder.directed().build(); 060 * }</pre> 061 * 062 * <p>{@link NetworkBuilder#build()} returns an instance of {@link MutableNetwork}, which is a 063 * subtype of {@code Network} that provides methods for adding and removing nodes and edges. If you 064 * do not need to mutate a graph (e.g. if you write a method than runs a read-only algorithm on the 065 * graph), you should use the non-mutating {@link Network} interface, or an {@link 066 * ImmutableNetwork}. 067 * 068 * <p>You can create an immutable copy of an existing {@code Network} using {@link 069 * ImmutableNetwork#copyOf(Network)}: 070 * 071 * <pre>{@code 072 * ImmutableNetwork<Integer, MyEdge> immutableGraph = ImmutableNetwork.copyOf(graph); 073 * }</pre> 074 * 075 * <p>Instances of {@link ImmutableNetwork} do not implement {@link MutableNetwork} (obviously!) and 076 * are contractually guaranteed to be unmodifiable and thread-safe. 077 * 078 * <p>The Guava User Guide has <a 079 * href="https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/GraphsExplained#building-graph-instances">more 080 * information on (and examples of) building graphs</a>. 081 * 082 * <h3>Additional documentation</h3> 083 * 084 * <p>See the Guava User Guide for the {@code common.graph} package (<a 085 * href="https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/GraphsExplained">"Graphs Explained"</a>) for 086 * additional documentation, including: 087 * 088 * <ul> 089 * <li><a 090 * href="https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/GraphsExplained#equals-hashcode-and-graph-equivalence"> 091 * {@code equals()}, {@code hashCode()}, and graph equivalence</a> 092 * <li><a href="https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/GraphsExplained#synchronization"> 093 * Synchronization policy</a> 094 * <li><a href="https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/GraphsExplained#notes-for-implementors">Notes 095 * for implementors</a> 096 * </ul> 097 * 098 * @author James Sexton 099 * @author Joshua O'Madadhain 100 * @param <N> Node parameter type 101 * @param <E> Edge parameter type 102 * @since 20.0 103 */ 104@Beta 105public interface Network<N, E> { 106 // 107 // Network-level accessors 108 // 109 110 /** Returns all nodes in this network, in the order specified by {@link #nodeOrder()}. */ 111 Set<N> nodes(); 112 113 /** Returns all edges in this network, in the order specified by {@link #edgeOrder()}. */ 114 Set<E> edges(); 115 116 /** 117 * Returns a live view of this network as a {@link Graph}.
