Apache TinkerPop is a graph computing framework for both graph databases (OLTP) and graph analytic systems (OLAP). It provides the Gremlin graph traversal language which works with any TinkerPop-enabled graph system. TinkerPop abstracts the underlying graph database, allowing applications to work with Neo4j, Amazon Neptune, Azure Cosmos DB, JanusGraph, Amazon DynamoDB, and other graph databases using a single consistent API. It is maintained by the Apache Software Foundation.
