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