A collection of static methods that may be useful for the implementation of built-in functions.
Cytoscape Backwards Compatibility (Static Class): This class is static and therefore can't be extended by users. This means that we may add methods for minor version updates. Methods will only be removed for major version updates.
Module: equations-api
