# Community

The Apache TinkerPop Community encompasses many different programming language ecosystems and, as a result, provides for helpful libraries, tools and applications for numerous environments and use cases. In this way, developers can feel comfortable programming in their language of choice. While TinkerPop provides official support for certain languages and tools, many are third-party supported by the wider TinkerPop Community.

Any listing of third-party products is intended to help users identify TinkerPop-enabled graph systems and does not constitute an endorsement by Apache TinkerPop nor the Apache Software Foundation. Please see the listing policy for information on how to get a TinkerPop-enabled product shown here.

##

Apache TinkerPop’s Gremlin-Go implements Gremlin for the Go programming language. It offers the features of the Gremlin language in a form familiar to Go developers.

    g := gremlingo.Traversal_().WithRemote(...)
    result, err := g.V().Out("knows").In("created").ToList()

Example

`go get github.com/apache/tinkerpop/gremlin-go/v3@v3.8.1`

Apache TinkerPop’s Gremlin-Groovy implements Gremlin within the Apache Groovy language. As a JVM-based language variant, Gremlin-Groovy is backed by Gremlin-Java constructs. Moreover, given its scripting nature, Gremlin-Groovy serves as the language of Gremlin Console and Gremlin Server.

    def g = traversal().withRemote(...)
    def l = g.V().out('knows').in('created').toList()

Example

`implementation 'org.apache.tinkerpop:gremlin-groovy:3.8.1'`

##

Apache TinkerPop’s Gremlin-Java implements Gremlin within the Java language. It is considered the canonical, reference implementation of Gremlin and serves as the foundation by which all other Gremlin language variants should emulate.

    GraphTraversalSource g = traversal().withRemote(...);
    List l = g.V().out('knows').in('created').toList();

Example

    <!-- gremlin-driver is a common dependency but
         there are others -->
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.apache.tinkerpop</groupId>
      <artifactId>gremlin-driver</artifactId>
      <version>3.8.1</version>
    </dependency>

    var l = await g.V().Out("knows").In("created").ToList();

Example

    dotnet add package Gremlin.Net --version 3.8.1

NuGet

##

Apache TinkerPop’s gremlin-python implements Gremlin within the Python language. It attempts to make Gremlin feel Pythonic while adhering to Gremlin feel as much as possible.

    g = traversal().withRemote(...);
    l = g.V().both()[1:3].toList()

Example

    pip install gremlinpython

## Compilers and Transpilers

##

There are many languages built to query data. SQL is typically used to query relational data. There is SPARQL for RDF data. Cypher is used to do pattern matching in graph data. The list could go on. Compilers convert languages like these to Gremlin so that it becomes possible to use them in any context that Gremlin is used. In other words, a Gremlin Compiler enables a particular query language to work on any TinkerPop-enabled graph system.

- cypher-for-gremlin: A Cypher-to-Gremlin traversal transpiler.
- sql-gremlin: A SQL to Gremlin traversal compiler.
