These algorithms are to solve PLL in a more efficient way while also swapping two opposite edges on the D layer.
Solving the cross with two opposite edges swapped can make transitioning to F2L much easier and faster than solving the cross like normal. Doing this also gives us an advantage of solving PLL in different ways.
All of the algorithms below are assuming that you need to swap the FD and FB edge.
Parenthisis are just to ehlp visually organize the algorithms.
