Property Data Types

Rexster allows manipulation of property values on Vertex and Edge objects. By default, these values are assumed to be string data types, but the Rexster API allows the the following data types to be set and allows for a calling client to get any results with their associated data types for proper deserialization.

Getting Results with Data Types
Getting results with data types attached is accomplished through the show_types parameter. This value is set to false by default, but when set to true will wrap property results in a JSON object construct showing data type and the value.
