             Summary: Unify Gremlin grammar and structure/process APIs across GLVs
                 Key: TINKERPOP-2563
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-2563
             Project: TinkerPop
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: process
    Affects Versions: 3.6.0
            Reporter: Joshua Shinavier


This is a set of exploratory features in which the ANTLR grammar Gremlin.g4 will be supplemented by, and possibly generated from, a higher-level specification in YAML. Generalizing the grammar in this way will potentially allow grammars for additional Gremlin language variants to be generated, and the common specification (for traversals as well as the core property graph data model) can also be used for generating structure and process APIs in multiple languages in parallel. See [TinkerPop 2020|https://www.slideshare.net/joshsh/tinkerpop-2020] for a discussion of related open problems, and How to Build a Dragon ([Part 3|https://www.meetup.com/Category-Theory/events/277331504/]) for a demonstration of some of the anticipated features.
