Neo4j IN ACTION

ABOUT THE BOOK

Neo4j in Action is a comprehensive guide
to designing, implementing, and querying
graph data using Neo4j. Using hands-on
examples, youll 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, Neo4js graph query language. Along
the way, youll 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.
