GraphSON Go is a Go library for the parsing and interpretation of GraphSON structured JSON. See the Gremlin IO Reference for more information on GraphSON and its position in the Gremlin query hierarchy.

This library is meant to be used along your own implementation of Gremlin's HTTP API interface functionality.

In order to use the parser you must import both this package and the package of the desired GraphSON version. The package handles the registration of the imported versions automatically.

import (
    "github.com/dnoberon/graphson"
    _ "github.com/dnoberon/graphson/graphson3"
 )

If you have correctly added your packages you can initialize the version 3 GraphSON parser.

parser := graphsonNewParser("v3")

While the GraphSONParser interface provides methods for parsing Vertex, Edge, Vertex Property, and Property data types it is suggested that the user of this package only use the Parse method and then the subsequent methods on the return ValuePair type.

const timestamp = `{
  "@type" : "g:Timestamp",
  "@value" : 1481750076295
}`

valuePair, err := parser.Parse([]byte(timestamp))

fmt.Println(valuePair.Type) // graphson.Timestamp
validGoTimeStruct := valuePair.AsTimestamp()
