## org.modeshape.graph.property
Interface PathFactory

All Superinterfaces:
  ValueFactory<Path>

    @ThreadSafe
    public interface PathFactory

extends ValueFactory<Path>

A factory for creating `paths`. This interface extends the `ValueFactory` generic interface and adds specific methods for creating paths (and relative paths) from a series of names, segments, or combinations.
