    public class GuavaMutableGraphAdapter<V,​E>
extends GuavaGraphAdapter<V,​E>
implements MutableGraph<V>
    An adapter from a JGAlgo graph to a mutable GUava graph.

    The adapter is constructed with a JGAlgo graph and implements the mutable Guava graph interface, and can be used with any Guava algorithm. The adapter is a live view, so any change in the JGAlgo graph is reflected in the Guava graph and vice versa, but the underlying JGAlgo graph should not be modified directly.

    The mutable Guava graph is a mutable variant of the basic Guava graph. If mutability is not required, consider using the immutable adapter instead.

    Parallel edges are not supported by Guava basic graph, therefore the adapter will throw an UnsupportedOperationException if the underlying JGAlgo graph allows parallel edges. Whether this graph is directed or not, and whether it support self edges or not, is determined by the underlying JGAlgo graph.

    Guava support different element orders for the nodes and the incident edges. This adapter uses the default element order, which is unordered, and cannot be changed as the underlying JGAlgo graph does not support any other order.

    The basic Guava graph only represent connections between nodes, without addressing the edges themselves. The edge generic type E is not reflected in the Guava graph, and is only internally for safe access to the underlying JGAlgo graph. To create new connections (edges) in the graph, the adapter must be able to create a new identifier for the created edge in the JGAlgo graph. This is done via the edge builder, which is a requirement for creating a mutable adapter.

    Among Guava Graph, ValueGraph and Network, the network is the most similar to JGAlgo graphs, as vertices and edges have unique identifiers, and queries of edges are answered with the edges identifiers. On the other had, the Graph and ValueGraph do not support unique identifiers for the edges, and operations on edges are addressed by a pair of nodes. The ValueGraph does associate a value with each edge, be it does not have to be unique, and it is more similar to weights in JGAlgo graphs.

    For adapting the other way around, from Guava to JGAlgo, only from Guava Network is supported, see GuavaNetworkWrapper.
