Show HN: Hypergraph – directed hypergraph library in Rust (40 graph algorithms)
Hypergraph is a Rust library designed for generating directed hypergraphs, which are a generalization of traditional graphs. This library provides methods for modeling complex relational data and offers various graph algorithms for analysis. Key features include support for non-simple hypergraphs, self-loops, and a generic query interface for graph operations.
- ▪Hypergraph allows modeling of complex, multiway relational data.
- ▪The library supports various graph algorithms including BFS, DFS, and Dijkstra's shortest path.
- ▪It provides functionalities for structural analysis and filtered views of hypergraphs.

Hypergraph is a data structure library to generate directed hypergraphs. A hypergraph is a generalization of a graph in which a hyperedge can join any number of vertices. 📣 Goal This library aims at providing the necessary methods for modeling complex, multiway (non-pairwise) relational data found in complex networks. One of the main advantages of using a hypergraph model over a graph one is to provide a more flexible and natural framework to represent entities and their relationships (e.g. Alice uses some social network, shares some data to Bob, who shares it to Carol, etc).
