public interface VertexProperty<V> extends Property<V>, Element
VertexProperty
is similar to a Property
in that it denotes a key/value pair associated with an
Vertex
, however it is different in the sense that it also represents an entity that it is an Element
that can have properties of its own.
A property is much like a Java8 Optional
in that a property can be not present (i.e. empty).
The key of a property is always a String and the value of a property is an arbitrary Java object.
Each underlying graph engine will typically have constraints on what Java objects are allowed to be used as values.Modifier and Type | Interface and Description |
