We are pleased to announce that Spring Data Gremlin is now available on Maven Central and source code on GitHub. This project provides Spring Data support for Graph databases that use Gremlin as a traversal language. For Azure users, it provides a delightful experience to interact with Azure Cosmos DB using Graph API. Java developers can now use Spring annotations to map with database entities, such as Vertex and Edge. It also allows developers to create their own database queries based on Spring Data Repository.

Key features

Spring Data Gremlin supports annotation-oriented programming model to simplify the mapping to the database entity. It also provides supports to create custom queries.

  • Mapping with database entities, including annotations.
    • @Id to map a filed in the domain class with id field of an entity.
    • @Vertex and @VertexSet map to Vertex.
    • @Edge, @EdgeSet, @EdgeFrom and @EdgeTo to map with Edge
  • Advanced operations with Vertex, Edge and Graph.
    • findVertexById and findEdgeById to find data by specific field.
    • vertexCount and edgeCount for counting Vertex and Edge numbers.
  • Spring Data CRUD functionality.
  • Custom database queries based on Spring Data Repository.

Getting started

You can follow this tutorial to create a Graph database instance in Azure Cosmos DB and add a new Graph in Data Explorer. Use the URI and Keys on the overview page to configure your project.
