Apache TinkerPop is an open-source framework designed for graph computing. It provides tools and libraries to work with graph data structures, enabling users to model complex relationships and perform queries efficiently. TinkerPop supports various programming languages, making it versatile for developers. The framework includes a query language called Gremlin, which allows users to traverse and manipulate graph data. TinkerPop is compatible with multiple graph databases, providing a standardized way to interact with different systems. This flexibility makes it a popular choice for applications in social networks, recommendation systems, and more.
