# Class: ProjectGraphBuilder

A class which builds up a project graph

**`Deprecated`**

The ProjectGraphProcessor has been deprecated. Use a [CreateNodes](../../devkit/documents/CreateNodes) and/or a [CreateDependencies](../../devkit/documents/CreateDependencies) instead. This will be removed in Nx 18.
