Evolutionary Algorithm Frameworks

Libraries and frameworks implementing evolutionary computation techniques (genetic algorithms, particle swarm optimization, differential evolution, etc.) for optimization and search problems. Does NOT include specific application domains (e.g., game AI, scheduling, hyperparameter tuning) or non-evolutionary metaheuristics.

There are 47 evolutionary algorithm frameworks tracked. 1 score above 70 (verified tier). The highest-rated is trevorstephens/gplearn at 72/100 with 1,819 stars and 19,896 monthly downloads.
