> **Warning:** The version currently on the trunk branch is the new development version which is currently in the process of transitioning to a multi-crate layout and new architecture. The previous release is available under the `0.8` branch.

Petgraph provides fast, flexible graph data structures and algorithms
in Rust. Supporting both directed and undirected graphs with arbitrary
node and edge data. It comes with:

* **Multiple Graph Types**: Graph, StableGraph, GraphMap, and
  MatrixGraph to suit various use cases.

* **Algorithms Included & Extensible**: For tasks like path-finding,
  minimum spanning trees, graph isomorphisms, and more - with traits
  exposed for implementing custom algorithms.

* **Graph Visualization support**: Export/import graphs
  to/from [DOT][dot-url] format for visualization with
  [Graphviz][graphviz-url].

Supports Rust 1.64 and later. This will only change on major releases.

## Example

For more examples, see
the [documentation on docs.rs][docsrs-examples].

```rust
use petgraph::graph::UnGraph;
use petgraph::algo::{dijkstra, min_spanning_tree};
use petgraph::data::FromElements;
use petgraph::dot::{Dot, Config};
use petgraph::visit::NodeIndexable;

fn main() {
    // Create an undirected graph with associated data
    // of type `i32` for the nodes and `()` for the edges.
    let g = UnGraph::<i32, ()>::from_edges(&[
        (0, 1), (1, 2), (2, 3), (0, 3)
    ]);

    // The graph looks like this:
    // 0 -- 1
    // |    |
    // 3 -- 2

    // Find the shortest path from `0` to `2` using `1` as the cost for every edge.
    let node_map = dijkstra(&g, 0.into(), Some(2.into()), |_| 1);
    assert_eq!(&2i32, node_map.get(&g.from_index(2)).unwrap());

    // Get the minimum spanning tree of the graph as a new graph, and check that
    // one edge was trimmed.
    let mst = UnGraph::<_, _>::from_elements(min_spanning_tree(&g));
    assert_eq!(g.raw_edges().len() - 1, mst.raw_edges().len());

    // Output the tree to `graphviz` `DOT` format
    println!("{:?}", Dot::with_config(&mst, &[Config::EdgeNoLabel]));
    // graph {
    //     0 [ label = "0" ]
    //     1 [ label = "0" ]
    //     2 [ label = "0" ]
    //     3 [ label = "0" ]
    //     0 -- 1 [ ]
    //     2 -- 3 [ ]
    //     1 -- 2 [ ]
    // }
}
```

### Crate features

petgraph is built with these features enabled by default:

- `graphmap` - Enables [`GraphMap`][docsrs-graph-map].
- `stable_graph` - Enables [`StableGraph`][docsrs-stable-graph].
- `matrix_graph` - Enables [`MatrixGraph`][docsrs-matrix-graph].
- `std` - Enables the Rust Standard Library.
  Disabling the `std` feature makes it possible to use `petgraph`
  in `no_std` contexts.

Optionally, the following features can be enabled:

- `serde-1` - Enables serialization for
  `Graph, StableGraph, GraphMap`
  using [serde 1.0][docsrs-serde]. Requires Rust version as required
  by serde.
- `rayon` - Enables parallel iterators for the underlying data
  in `GraphMap`. Requires Rust version as required
  by [rayon][docsrs-rayon].
- `dot_parser` - Enables parsing graph
  from [DOT/Graphviz][dot-url]
  strings and files.
- `generate` - Enables graph generators.
- `unstable` - Enables unstable crate features (currently only
  `generate`). The API of functionality behind this flag is subject to
  change at any time.
