**Met4J is an open-source Java library dedicated to the structural analysis of metabolic networks. It also came with a toolbox gathering CLI for several analyses relevant to metabolism-related research.**
Met4j is composed by several modules:
Met4j is composed by three main modules:
-[met4j-core](met4j-core/README.md): it's the key module which contains all the core
classes for handling metabolic networks
-[met4j-io](met4j-io/README.md): for importing/exporting metabolic networks in several
formats (SBML, MetExploreXml, KEGG)
-[met4j-graph](met4j-graph/README.md): for performing graph-based topological analysis of metabolic networks.
The other modules contains utilities to serve the main modules listed here.
The full list of implemented metabolic network analysis can be found in the [met4j-toolbox](met4j-toolbox/README.md)
The package [met4j-toolbox](met4j-toolbox/README.md) contains high-level apps that can be run in command line by using either jar file or Singularity or Docker containers.
