-------------------------------------------
Summary: Unify Gremlin grammar and structure/process APIs across
GLVs
Key: TINKERPOP-2563
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-2563
Project: TinkerPop
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: process
Affects Versions: 3.6.0
Reporter: Joshua Shinavier
This is a set of exploratory features in which the ANTLR grammar Gremlin.g4
will be supplemented by, and possibly generated from, a higher-level
specification in YAML. Generalizing the grammar in this way will potentially
allow grammars for additional Gremlin language variants to be generated, and
the common specification (for traversals as well as the core property graph
data model) can also be used for generating structure and process APIs in
multiple languages in parallel. See [TinkerPop
2020|https://www.slideshare.net/joshsh/tinkerpop-2020] for a discussion of
related open problems, and How to Build a Dragon ([Part
3|https://www.meetup.com/Category-Theory/events/277331504/]) for a
demonstration of some of the anticipated features.
