graphs

graphs is a simple graph library for Scala

Example

@@snip SimpleGraphApp.scala { #simple_graph }

Documentation

Please check the guide and the API docs

Features

• Simple graph creation API
• Depth-first traversal / search
• Breadth-first traversal / search
• Topological sorting
• Dijkstras algorithm for shortest paths
• GraphML import / export (experimental)
• force based layout (planned)
• cross compiled for Scala 2.12, 2.13, Scala.js

Motivation

graphs was created to explore different type encoding for graphs and implement well-known algorithms

Goals

• Support Scala.js
• Support GraphML
• Usages of the library and the core interfaces should be intuitive
• The codebase should follow current idioms and integrate with mainstream libraries for Scala

Non-Goals

• Support all possible graph types / scenarios
• Provide a purely functional library

Alternatives

Graph for Scala is probably the most established graph library for Scala and supports many kinds of graphs explicitly (custom syntax etc.) with a big variety of algorithms and extensions (json, dot support).

Its still being worked on and recently added support for Scala.js. It might have a steeper learning curve but is more battle-tested and powerful then graphs.

quiver follows Martin Erwigs Functions Graph Library and appears to be more or less abandoned. Its less focused on algorithms but provides a more functional perspective on graphs.

graphs is inspired and influenced by both libraries. Please check them out to see if they fit your use case and preferences better.
