## Class DetachedEdge

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.structure.util.detached.DetachedElement<Edge>
  - - org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.structure.util.detached.DetachedEdge

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Edge, Element, Attachable<Edge>

      public class DetachedEdge
      extends DetachedElement<Edge>
      implements Edge

  Represents an `Edge` that is disconnected from a `Graph`. "Disconnection" can mean detachment from a `Graph` in the sense that the `Edge` was constructed from a `Graph` instance and this reference was removed or it can mean that the `DetachedEdge` could have been constructed independently of a `Graph` instance in the first place.

  A `DetachedEdge` only has reference to the properties and in/out vertices that are associated with it at the time of detachment (or construction) and is not traversable or mutable. Note that the references to the in/out vertices are `DetachedVertex` instances that only have reference to the `Element.id()` and `Element.label()`.
