024/**
025 * An interface for <a
026 * href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_(discrete_mathematics)">graph</a>-structured data,
027 * whose edges are unique objects.
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 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 {@code common.graph} provides are not public, by design. To
055 * create 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> network = 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 network (e.g. if you write a method than runs a read-only algorithm on
065 * the network), 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(network);
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>.
