023/**
024 * An interface for <a
025 * href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_(discrete_mathematics)">graph</a>-structured data,
026 * whose edges have associated non-unique values.
027 *
028 * <p>A graph is composed of a set of nodes and a set of edges connecting pairs of nodes.
029 *
030 * <p>There are three primary interfaces provided to represent graphs. In order of increasing
031 * complexity they are: {@link Graph}, {@link ValueGraph}, and {@link Network}. You should generally
032 * prefer the simplest interface that satisfies your use case. See the <a
033 * href="https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/GraphsExplained#choosing-the-right-graph-type">
034 * "Choosing the right graph type"</a> section of the Guava User Guide for more details.
035 *
036 * <h3>Capabilities</h3>
037 *
038 * <p>{@code ValueGraph} supports the following use cases (<a
039 * href="https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/GraphsExplained#definitions">definitions of
040 * terms</a>):
041 *
042 * <ul>
043 *   <li>directed graphs
044 *   <li>undirected graphs
045 *   <li>graphs that do/don't allow self-loops
046 *   <li>graphs whose nodes/edges are insertion-ordered, sorted, or unordered
047 *   <li>graphs whose edges have associated values
048 * </ul>
049 *
050 * <p>{@code ValueGraph}, as a subtype of {@code Graph}, explicitly does not support parallel edges,
051 * and forbids implementations or extensions with parallel edges. If you need parallel edges, use
052 * {@link Network}. (You can use a positive {@code Integer} edge value as a loose representation of
053 * edge multiplicity, but the {@code *degree()} and mutation methods will not reflect your
054 * interpretation of the edge value as its multiplicity.)
055 *
056 * <h3>Building a {@code ValueGraph}</h3>
057 *
058 * <p>The implementation classes that {@code common.graph} provides are not public, by design. To
059 * create an instance of one of the built-in implementations of {@code ValueGraph}, use the {@link
060 * ValueGraphBuilder} class:
061 *
062 * <pre>{@code
063 * MutableValueGraph<Integer, Double> graph = ValueGraphBuilder.directed().build();
064 * }</pre>
065 *
066 * <p>{@link ValueGraphBuilder#build()} returns an instance of {@link MutableValueGraph}, which is a
067 * subtype of {@code ValueGraph} that provides methods for adding and removing nodes and edges. If
068 * you do not need to mutate a graph (e.g. if you write a method than runs a read-only algorithm on
069 * the graph), you should use the non-mutating {@link ValueGraph} interface, or an {@link
070 * ImmutableValueGraph}.
071 *
072 * <p>You can create an immutable copy of an existing {@code ValueGraph} using {@link
073 * ImmutableValueGraph#copyOf(ValueGraph)}:
074 *
075 * <pre>{@code
076 * ImmutableValueGraph<Integer, Double> immutableGraph = ImmutableValueGraph.copyOf(graph);
077 * }</pre>
078 *
079 * <p>Instances of {@link ImmutableValueGraph} do not implement {@link MutableValueGraph}
080 * (obviously!) and are contractually guaranteed to be unmodifiable and thread-safe.
081 *
082 * <p>The Guava User Guide has <a
083 * href="https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/GraphsExplained#building-graph-instances">more
084 * information on (and examples of) building graphs</a>.
