IMPORTANT: The full Java API can be seamlessly accessed by Gremlin. Thus, both the Blueprints and Pipes APIs can be accessed from within Gremlin. For behaviors that are commonly used in Gremlin, Gremlin adds MetaClass methods/operators to make it easier and faster to work with the Blueprints and Pipes APIs. These MetaClass methods/operators are provided in the table below.
Developer Note: If you come up a with a generally useful method and would like to include it into the main Gremlin distribution, please make an issue or provide the appropriate pull request.
| method/operator | equivalence | description |
|---|---|---|
Graph.v(Object) |
Graph.getVertex(Object) |
get a vertex by its id |
Graph.e(Object) |
Graph.getEdge(Object) |

Graph.idx(String) |
Graph.getIndex(String, Class, Type) |
get an index by its name |
Graph.addVertex() |
Graph.addVertex(null) |
add a vertex |
Graph.addVertex(Object, Map) |
no simple representation | add a vertex with property map |
Graph.addVertex(Map) |
no simple representation | add a vertex with property map |
Graph.addEdge(Object, Vertex, Vertex, String, Map) |
no simple representation | add an edge with property map |
Graph.addEdge(Vertex, Vertex, String, Map) |

Graph.saveGraphML(String or File) |
GraphMLWriter.outputGraph(graph, new FileInputStream(file)) |
save graph to a GraphML file |
Index[Map.Entry] |
Index.get(String, Object) |
get an element by its key/value |
Element.key |
Element.getProperty(key) |
get the value of a property by key |
Element.key = value |
Element.setProperty(key,value) |
set the value of a property |
Element[key] |
Element.getProperty(key) |
get the value of a property by key |
Element[key] = value |
Element.setProperty(key,value) |
set the value of a property |
Element.keys() |
Element.getPropertyKeys() |
get the property keys of the element |
Element.values() |
no simple representation | get the property values of the element |
Element.map() |
no simple representation | get the property map of the element |
Pipe>>1 |
Iterator.next() |
get the next object in the pipe |
Pipe>>Integer |
no simple representation | get the next n objects in pipe and return as a list |
Pipe>>-1 |
no simple representation | next() all the objects out of the pipe |
Pipe>>Collection |
no simple representation | add all the pipe objects to the collection |
Pipe.count() |
PipeHelper.counter(Pipe) |
count objects in the pipe |
Pipe.mean() |
no simple representation | the average of the objects in the pipe |
Note: All Pipe methods/operators also work for Iterator and Iterable.
