getting wireframe as edge line.

Like add sop has "Delete Geometry But Keep the Points" but only edges.

Is there any?

This is sort of crude, but here's something hacked together using the Wireframe SOP as a starting point:

I'm surprised this isn't an available option on the Wireframe SOP actually.

You can use the ends sop and turn on unroll

I just had to do this lately, and the easiest way I found was;

Wireframe SOP, 0 width, no rounding
Convert SOP, to polygons with "Columns" connectivity
Fuse SOP, if needed.

This creates a polyline per edge - Ends SOP is nice, but it creates a polyline per primitive. (Of course sometimes that might be what one needs)
