| > Why We Need a Common Graph Query Language > I believe that graph query language is Cypher. I, and others, believe gremlin is that common graph query language. My first meet with graph databases was in fact Neo4j, but quickly pivoted to Titan, and now using Cayley for smaller projects (although its Cassandra model will make an interesting future). All except Neo4j supported gremlin, which to me is expressive, formal and actual-human readable. Cypher looks cool, and has intuitive method of writing the edge query parts, but while it looks hip, I didn't find it obvious nor human parsable. Human readable yes. You recognize the terms, but translating it into an AST is simpler and easier in gremlin than in Cypher (in my opinion) |
