## Interface TraversalSource

- All Superinterfaces:
    AutoCloseable, Cloneable
  All Known Implementing Classes:
    GraphTraversalSource

      public interface TraversalSource
      extends Cloneable, AutoCloseable

  A `TraversalSource` is used to create `Traversal` instances. A traversal source can generate any number of `Traversal` instances. A traversal source is primarily composed of a `Graph` and a `TraversalStrategies`. Various `withXXX`-based methods are used to configure the traversal strategies (called "configurations"). Various other methods (dependent on the traversal source type) will then generate a traversal given the graph and configured strategies (called "spawns"). A traversal source is immutable in that fluent chaining of configurations create new traversal sources. This is unlike `Traversal` and `GraphComputer`, where chained methods configure the same instance. Every traversal source implementation must maintain two constructors to enable proper reflection-based construction.

  `TraversalSource(Graph)` and `TraversalSource(Graph,TraversalStrategies)`

      Get the `TraversalStrategies` associated with this traversal source.
      Returns:
        the traversal strategies of the traversal source

    - #### getGraph

          Graph getGraph()

      Get the `Graph` associated with this traversal source.

          Bytecode getBytecode()

      Get the `Bytecode` associated with the current state of this traversal source.
      Returns:

    - #### with

          default TraversalSource with(String key)

      Provides a configuration to a traversal in the form of a key which is the same as `with(key, true)`. The key of the configuration must be graph provider specific and therefore a configuration could be supplied that is not known to be valid until execution.
      Parameters:
        `key` - the key of the configuration to apply to a traversal
      Returns:
        a new traversal source with the included configuration
      Since:
        3.4.0

    - #### with

          default TraversalSource with(String key,
                                       Object value)

      Provides a configuration to a traversal in the form of a key value pair. The key of the configuration must be graph provider specific and therefore a configuration could be supplied that is not known to be valid until execution. This is a handy shortcut for building an `OptionsStrategy` manually and then add with `withStrategies(TraversalStrategy[])`.
      Parameters:
        `key` - the key of the configuration to apply to a traversal
        `value` - the value of the configuration to apply to a traversal
