Please help me understand the Edge Data Format.

[Age Apache <ag...@gmail.com>]

Hey Everyone,

I am reading the AGE Manual and came across the "Edge Data Format"
described here:
https://age.apache.org/age-manual/master/intro/types.html#edge

Is the "startid" the id of incoming vertex/node and the "endid" the id
for outgoing vertex/node? If not, then please could you explain what
"incoming/outgoing edge" means in relation to an edge?

Thanks and kind regards,

-A

That is correct. Note that all edges are directed.

*startid *------------> *endid*

The *startid*, stored in the edge, is the source vertex *id *for that edge.
The *endid*, stored in the edge, is the target vertex *id *for that edge .
