Discovering the Neo4j Bloom graph application
Neo4j Bloom is distributed by Neo4j and is a professional-looking application to deal with data specifically stored in a Neo4j database. In this section, we are going to discover its features and use its ability to configure node display color based on a property to visualize graph communities.
What is Bloom?
What can Bloom do for us? It can do all of the following:
- Graph querying:
- By label
- By path
- With a parametrized Cypher query
- Graph visualization:
- Filtered nodes, customized sizes, color, displayed properties, and so on
- Graph editing:
- Adding nodes and relationships
- Adding/editing properties
- Graph exploration:
- Shortest path
- GDS integration
In this chapter, I’ll leave apart the graph editing functionalities to focus on graph querying and graph data visualization features, taking a small tour of the GDS integration.
