public interface Property<V>
```
A Property denotes a key/value pair associated with an Edge. 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.

- Method Detail
  - key
```
String key()
```
    The key of the property.
    
    Returns:
    
    The property key
  - value
```
V value()
 throws NoSuchElementException
```
    The value of the property.
    
    Returns:
    
    The property value
    
    Throws:
    
    NoSuchElementException - thrown if the property is empty
  - isPresent
```
boolean isPresent()
```
    Whether the property is empty or not.
    
    Returns:
    
    True if the property exists, else false
  - ifPresent
```
default void ifPresent(Consumer<? super V> consumer)
```
    If the property is present, the consume the value as specified by the Consumer.
    
    Parameters:
    
    consumer - The consumer to process the existing value.
  - orElse
```
default V orElse(V otherValue)
```
    If the value is present, return the value, else return the provided value.
    
    Parameters:
    
    otherValue - The value to return if the property is not present
    
    Returns:
    
    A value
  - orElseGet
```
default V orElseGet(Supplier<? extends V> valueSupplier)
```
    If the value is present, return the value, else generate a value given the Supplier.
    
    Parameters:
    
    valueSupplier - The supplier to use to generate a value if the property is not present
    
    Returns:
    
    A value
  - orElseThrow
```
default <E extends Throwable> V orElseThrow(Supplier<? extends E> exceptionSupplier)
                                     throws E extends Throwable
```
    If the value is present, return the value, else throw the exception generated by the Supplier.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    E - The exception type
    
    Parameters:
    
    exceptionSupplier - The supplier to generate an exception if the property is not present
    
    Returns:
    
    A value
    
    Throws:
    
    E - if the property is not present, the exception is thrown
    
    E extends Throwable
  - element
```
Element element()
```
    Get the element that this property is associated with.
    
    Returns:
    
    The element associated with this property (i.e. Vertex, Edge, or VertexProperty).
  - remove
```
void remove()
```
    Remove the property from the associated element.
  - empty
```
static <V> Property<V> empty()
```
    Create an empty property that is not present.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    V - The value class of the empty property
    
    Returns:
    
    A property that is not present
