@Beta @DoNotMock("Use GraphBuilder to create a real instance") public interface Graph<N>
An interface for graph-structured data, whose edges are anonymous entities with no identity or information of their own.A graph is composed of a set of nodes and a set of edges connecting pairs of nodes.
There are three primary interfaces provided to represent graphs. In order of increasing complexity they are:
Graph
,ValueGraph
, andNetwork
. You should generally prefer the simplest interface that satisfies your use case. See the "Choosing the right graph type" section of the Guava User Guide for more details.Capabilities
Graph
supports the following use cases (definitions of terms):- directed graphs
- undirected graphs
- graphs that do/don't allow self-loops
- graphs whose nodes/edges are insertion-ordered, sorted, or unordered
Graph
explicitly does not support parallel edges, and forbids implementations or extensions with parallel edges. If you need parallel edges, useNetwork
.Building a
Graph
The implementation classes that
common.graph
provides are not public, by design. To create an instance of one of the built-in implementations ofGraph
, use theGraphBuilder
class:MutableGraph<Integer> graph = GraphBuilder.undirected().build();
GraphBuilder.build()
returns an instance ofMutableGraph
, which is a subtype ofGraph
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-mutatingGraph
interface, or anImmutableGraph
.You can create an immutable copy of an existing
Graph
usingImmutableGraph.copyOf(Graph)
:ImmutableGraph<Integer> immutableGraph = ImmutableGraph.copyOf(graph);
Instances of
ImmutableGraph
do not implementMutableGraph
(obviously!) and are contractually guaranteed to be unmodifiable and thread-safe.The Guava User Guide has more information on (and examples of) building graphs.

Method Detail
-
nodes
java.util.Set<N> nodes()
Returns all nodes in this graph, in the order specified bynodeOrder()
.
-
edges
java.util.Set<EndpointPair<N>> edges()
Returns all edges in this graph.
-
isDirected
boolean isDirected()
Returns true if the edges in this graph are directed. Directed edges connect asource node
to atarget node
, while undirected edges connect a pair of nodes to each other.
-
allowsSelfLoops
boolean allowsSelfLoops()
Returns true if this graph allows self-loops (edges that connect a node to itself). Attempting to add a self-loop to a graph that does not allow them will throw anIllegalArgumentException
.
-
nodeOrder
ElementOrder<N> nodeOrder()
Returns the order of iteration for the elements ofnodes()
.
-
incidentEdgeOrder
ElementOrder<N> incidentEdgeOrder()
Returns anElementOrder
that specifies the order of iteration for the elements ofedges()

adjacentNodes
java.util.Set<N> adjacentNodes(N node)

predecessors
java.util.Set<N> predecessors(N node)

.This is not the same as "all nodes reachable from

degree
int degree(N node)
Returns the count ofnode
's incident edges, counting self-loops twice (equivalently, the number of times an edge touchesnode
).For directed graphs, this is equal to
inDegree(node) + outDegree(node)
.For undirected graphs, this is equal to
incidentEdges(node).size()
+ (number of self-loops incident tonode
).If the count is greater than
Integer.MAX_VALUE
, returnsInteger.MAX_VALUE
.- Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
- ifnode
is not an element of this graph
-
inDegree
int inDegree(N node)
Returns the count ofnode
's incoming edges (equal topredecessors(node).size()
) in a directed graph. In an undirected graph, returns thedegree(Object)

.- Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
- ifnode
is not an element of this graph

outDegree
int outDegree(N node)

hasEdgeConnecting
boolean hasEdgeConnecting(N nodeU, N nodeV)
Returns true if there is an edge that directly connectsnodeU
tonodeV
. This is equivalent tonodes().contains(nodeU) && successors(nodeU).contains(nodeV)
.In an undirected graph, this is equal to
hasEdgeConnecting(nodeV, nodeU)
.- Since:
- 23.0
-
hasEdgeConnecting
boolean hasEdgeConnecting(EndpointPair<N> endpoints)
Returns true if there is an edge that directly connectsendpoints
(in the order, if any, specified byendpoints
). This is equivalent toedges().contains(endpoints)
.Unlike the other
EndpointPair
-accepting methods, this method does not throw if the endpoints are unordered and the graph is directed; it simply returnsfalse
. This is for consistency with the behavior ofCollection.contains(Object)
(which does not generally throw if the object cannot be present in the collection), and the desire to have this method's behavior be compatible withedges().contains(endpoints)
.- Since:
- 27.1

equals
boolean equals(@CheckForNull java.lang.Object object)
Returnstrue
iffobject
is aGraph
that has the same elements and the same structural relationships as those in this graph.Thus, two graphs A and B are equal if all of the following are true:
- A and B have equal
directedness
. - A and B have equal
node sets
. - A and B have equal
edge sets
.
Graph properties besides
directedness
do not affect equality. For example, two graphs may be considered equal even if one allows self-loops and the other doesn't. Additionally, the order in which nodes or edges are added to the graph, and the order in which they are iterated over, are irrelevant.A reference implementation of this is provided by
AbstractGraph.equals(Object)
.- Overrides:
equals
in classjava.lang.Object
- A and B have equal
-
hashCode
int hashCode()
Returns the hash code for this graph. The hash code of a graph is defined as the hash code of the set returned byedges()
.A reference implementation of this is provided by
AbstractGraph.hashCode()
