Database
Apache TinkerPop is not a database but a powerful graph computing framework and a standard for graph database interoperability.
Its core component is the Gremlin traversal language, which provides a common syntax for querying and manipulating graph data across different systems.
TinkerPop's strength lies in its ability to abstract away the underlying database technology, allowing developers to write portable Gremlin queries that can be executed against any TinkerPop-enabled graph system.
It acts as an abstraction layer, providing a consistent API for both analytical and transactional graph operations.
Many graph databases, including JanusGraph and parts of AWS Neptune and Azure Cosmos DB, have integrated TinkerPop to expose a common query interface.
