Exploring Graphs with Elixir

Our Plan of Action

We have some options for how we might go about reviewing the various Elixir graph packages. We could treat them as separate things and talk about each of their idiosyncrasies. We could also focus on some real-world problems and see how each package might be able to support each particular use case. But that’s not what we’re going to do in this book.

We want to focus on the similarities—not the differences—between the various graph data models. We would like to have some of the following:

• an easy means to store graph queries and graph data
• an easy way to switch between different graph models
• an easy way to access different graph databases

To do this, we’re going to create a graph test bed application—a small laboratory—for testing ...
