## What is Apache HugeGraph?

[HugeGraph](https://hugegraph.apache.org/) is a fast-speed and highly-scalable [graph database](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_database).
Billions of vertices and edges can be easily stored into and queried from HugeGraph due to its excellent OLTP ability.
As compliance to [Apache TinkerPop 3](https://tinkerpop.apache.org/) framework, various complicated graph queries can be
achieved through [Gremlin](https://tinkerpop.apache.org/gremlin.html)(a powerful graph traversal language).
