Github user newkek commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/pull/351 Yes the `@class` bothered me a little as well, since now it doesn't really describe a "Class". But I did not want to change, for consistency for GraphSON v1.0 and I reused the `GraphSONTokens.CLASS`. So if it is ok, I'd be +1 for `@type` actually. Concerning BSON (or MsgPack) it probably is indeed a more efficient serialization solution, however the goal of this PR is to optimize and improve JSON. Implementing Graph-BSON is probably another topic adjacent to this one, on which btw I'd be happy to collaborate as well.
