Rexster is a graph server that exposes any Blueprints graph through REST and a binary protocol called RexPro. The HTTP web service provides standard low-level GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE methods, a flexible extensions model which allows plug-in like development for external services (such as adhoc graph queries through Gremlin), server-side “stored procedures” written in Gremlin, and a browser-based interface called The Dog House. Rexster Console makes it possible to do remote script evaluation against configured graphs inside of a Rexster Server.¹

Rexster Kibbles is a collection of various Rexster server extensions provided by TinkerPop.
