GraphReader (com.gengoai:mango 1.1-SNAPSHOT API)

Type Parameters:

V - the vertex type

All Known Implementing Classes:

GraphJson
```
public interface GraphReader<V>
```
Common interface for reading graphs from resources.

Readers first read in the graph constructing intermediate Vertex objects to represent vertices and their properties. Vertex objects are then decoded into an actual vertex using a supplied VertexDecoder. Similarly, edges are constructed using the graph's edge factory, but an EdgeDecoder is used to add additional properties stored in a map to the edge.
