Cypher for Gremlin
A toolkit that enables querying Gremlin graph databases using the Cypher query language.
What is Cypher for Gremlin?
Cypher for Gremlin is a translation toolkit that enables querying Gremlin graph databases using the Cypher query language. It translates Cypher queries into Gremlin representations, allowing developers to use Neo4j's industry-standard query syntax on any Apache TinkerPop-compatible database like JanusGraph, AWS Neptune, or Azure Cosmos DB. The project solves the problem of vendor lock-in by bridging two major graph query paradigms.
Graph database developers and teams who are familiar with Cypher but need to work with Gremlin-based databases, or those seeking to standardize on Cypher across multiple graph backends.
Developers choose Cypher for Gremlin because it provides a seamless way to use Cypher's intuitive syntax on Gremlin databases, reducing the learning curve and enabling code portability. Its toolkit approach—with server plugins, client wrappers, and Neo4j driver compatibility—offers flexibility for both client-side and server-side translation.
Overview
Cypher for Gremlin adds Cypher support to any Gremlin graph database.
