Neo4j is one of the most popular open-source graph database.

A graph database shows the relationships between data in a graphical manner.

[{"selector":"#anim-9499732a-2abd-4920-b584-023dd6a25655","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-57cbaa7e-55a0-4991-9eed-a1a18fb72536","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -286.36127%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Neo4j stores the data in the nodes, and nodes are directed by nature.

[{"selector":"#anim-2207ec41-354a-40fc-9b34-d40646340bf4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3f033b00-d093-4ee5-b480-6741e7d8c5e1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -339.18474%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Neo4j is a graph database that follows the graph theory.

[{"selector":"#anim-293da829-cd35-4473-80d3-8412d04d7a44","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-997e2e3f-43a9-4a23-bb4c-959e9f471f7d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -436.68428%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

In Neo4j, the data are represented as nodes and edges, and each node or edge can have one or many attributes.

[{"selector":"#anim-00828df0-b0b3-436f-ba6d-5234ce1c60df","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-17006a9b-6569-47cb-8a11-f77bc0b3335c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -244.18199%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Neo4j supports a SQL-like query language called Neo4j CQL(Cypher Query language)

[{"selector":"#anim-efc7b99c-7016-40c9-9c9c-b3c13de47779","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3918f210-a607-4a55-a19e-1a7e0317a0cc","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -273.56506%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Neo4j also provides a beautiful Web UI that users can use to create and retrieve the data.

[{"selector":"#anim-eb6a3ba0-25c5-404d-965e-60a275fa6802","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0e233d19-e1c3-4fa8-8ada-4e13fe4448a2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -273.56506%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Neo4j also supports REST APIs which can be accessed through various programming languages.

[{"selector":"#anim-511ccf50-46fb-46e9-b1d7-3ce561cb4807","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a23fc85f-c173-411a-b9e1-8f1afca66d74","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -231.18985%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
