any API for handling graph? in java

Question

I would like to use the concept of MindMap http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_map

in a AI program. Is there any API for java? A good api for drawing and manipulating graphs with enough documentation and examples will also do the job.

I dont actually need to represent it graphically , i just need to build the map in any method(used for representing graphs, ) and search in it.

The program shall take a word as input

Search the mindmap for it and display the relevant words.

I'm confuded: you write "A good api for drawing and manipulating graphs" and then "I dont actually need to represent it graphically". So what do you want exactly? A Java API fro drawing and manipulating graphs ... or what? — MarcoS, May 02 '11 at 12:40
I mean representing a mindmap by adjacency list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjacency_list ..... then i want to do a binary search from the centre to find the topic in the mindmap — shababhsiddique, May 02 '11 at 14:02
Have you looked at this [question] (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/51574/good-java-graph-algorithm-library) ? — MarcoS, May 02 '11 at 14:06

Have you tried FreeMind? It's an open-source Java MindMap framework.

I dont want a program to draw a mind map, i want an API which can be used from within java to handle a mind map – shababhsiddique May 02 '11 at 06:37
Ok, clarification. What do you want as input and what do you want as output? Is AI outputing MindMap or using it? – Daniel Fath May 02 '11 at 07:25
