Topolib 🚀

Topolib is a compact, modular Python library for modeling, analyzing, and visualizing optical network topologies.
Goal: Provide researchers and engineers with a simple, extensible toolkit for working with nodes, links, metrics, and map-based visualizations.

🧭 Overview

Topolib is organized into four main modules:

• 🧱 Elements: Node, Link — basic building blocks
• 🕸️ Topology: Topology, Path — manage nodes, links, paths, and adjacency
• 📈 Analysis: Metrics — compute node degree, link stats, connection matrices
• 🖼️ Visualization: MapView — plot topologies on real maps

---

✨ Features

• Modular, extensible design
• Easy-to-use classes for nodes, links, and paths
• Built-in metrics and analysis helpers
• JSON import/export and interoperability
• Ready for Sphinx, Read the Docs, and PyPI

📝 Basic usage

from topolib.elements.node import Node
from topolib.topology.topology import Topology

n1 = Node(1, 'A', 10.0, 20.0)
n2 = Node(2, 'B', 11.0, 21.0)
topo = Topology(nodes=[n1, n2])
# Add links, compute metrics, visualize, etc.
