 GraphML

-To be written
+GraphML is an XML based format designed to serialize an entire graph. This format is
+best used for interoperabiilty with other graph tools and frameworks as it has wide
+support. The format specification can be found at http://graphml.graphdrawing.org/.

+The following sample file illustrates what the format looks like.

+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+We mention GraphBinary here mostly for informational purposes as GraphBinary is not 
+meant to be used for persisting graphs to file. It is primarily a network transport
+serialization format used by Gremlin Server compliant systems to communicate with 
+compatible drivers. In general, you do not need to know much about GraphBinary itself
+unless you are implementing a server or a driver.
