HugeGraph-Client Quick Start

1 Overview Of Hugegraph

HugeGraph-Client sends HTTP request to HugeGraph-Server to get and parse the execution result of Server. We support HugeGraph-Client for Java/Go/Python language. You can use Client-API to write code to operate HugeGraph, such as adding, deleting, modifying, and querying schema and graph data, or executing gremlin statements.

HugeGraph client SDK tool based on Go language (version >=1.2.0)

2 What You Need

Java 11 (also supports Java 8)
Maven 3.5+

3 How To Use

The basic steps to use HugeGraph-Client are as follows:

Build a new Maven project by IDEA or Eclipse
Add HugeGraph-Client dependency in a pom file;
Create an object to invoke the interface of HugeGraph-Client

See the complete example in the following section for the detail.

4 Complete Example

4.1 Build New Maven Project

Using IDEA or Eclipse to create the project:

4.2 Add Hugegraph-Client Dependency In POM

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.hugegraph</groupId>
        <artifactId>hugegraph-client</artifactId>
        <!-- Update to the latest release version -->
        <version>1.5.0</version>
    </dependency>    
</dependencies>

Note: The versions of all graph components remain consistent
