TinkerPop Compendium

3.2.3

TinkerPop Compendium

The primary documentation for Apache TinkerPop is the Reference Documentation, which provides the most complete guide to TinkerPop usage. All other documentation tends to exist in support of that reference guide. Other documentation tends to fall into one of these other categories:

Tutorials - Brief but detailed explanations of specific technologies, patterns, use cases or best practices related to TinkerPop.
Publications - Blog posts, technical papers, presentation materials, etc.
Developer - Documentation for contributors to TinkerPop or for providers (i.e. those who implement TinkerPop’s interfaces).

Note	Some of the documentation listed here leads to third-party web sites. Such documentation is supplemental to Apache TinkerPop. Third-party documentation is marked as such in the listings below.
