Neo4j in Action

Book description

Neo4j in Action is a comprehensive guide to Neo4j, aimed at application developers and software architects. Using hands-on examples, you'll learn to model graph domains naturally with Neo4j graph structures. The book explores the full power of native Java APIs for graph data manipulation and querying.



About the Technology

Much of the data today is highly connected--from social networks to supply chains to software dependency management--and more connections are continually being uncovered. Neo4j is an ideal graph database tool for highly connected data. It is mature, production-ready, and unique in enabling developers to simply and efficiently model and query connected data.



About the Book

Neo4j in Action is a comprehensive guide to designing, implementing, and querying graph data using Neo4j. Using hands-on examples, you'll learn to model graph domains naturally with Neo4j graph structures. The book explores the full power of native Java APIs for graph data manipulation and querying. It also covers Cypher, Neo4j's graph query language. Along the way, you'll learn how to integrate Neo4j into your domain-driven app using Spring Data Neo4j, as well as how to use Neo4j in standalone server or embedded modes.



What's Inside
  • Graph database patterns
  • How to model data in social networks
  • How to use Neo4j in your Java applications
  • How to configure and set up Neo4j


About the Reader

Knowledge of Java basics is required. No prior experience with graph data or Neo4j is assumed.
