Overview of this book

Neo4j is a graph database that allows traversing huge amounts of data with ease. This book aims at quickly getting you started with the popular graph database Neo4j. Starting with a brief introduction to graph theory, this book will show you the advantages of using graph databases along with data modeling techniques for graph databases. You'll gain practical hands-on experience with commonly used and lesser known features for updating graph store with Neo4j's Cypher query language. Furthermore, you'll also learn to create awesome procedures using APOC and extend Neo4j's functionality, enabling integration, algorithmic analysis, and other advanced spatial operation capabilities on data. Through the course of the book you will come across implementation examples on the latest updates in Neo4j, such as in-graph indexes, scaling, performance improvements, visualization, data refactoring techniques, security enhancements, and much more. By the end of the book, you'll have gained the skills to design and implement modern spatial applications, from graphing data to unraveling business capabilities with the help of real-world use cases.

Preface

Creating guides for the Neo4j browser


When you are in a situation where you need to display data to users but cannot create an application for that, an option to consider is to create guides, locally hosted so that your users just need to click on the queries to get the results. There is no risk if they have the reader role.

The first obvious option is to look at a guide and see how the source is structured. The second option is to look at the project neo4j guides available at https://github.com/neo4j-contrib/neo4j-guides

This project proposes to convert a document in the asciidoc format to an HTML guide.

Here is a starter guide:
