  • Accessing Neo4j from the command line using the Neo4j shell
  • Accessing Neo4j from the command line using curl
  • Accessing Neo4j from the Java libraries
  • Accessing Neo4j using the Java REST bindings
  • Mapping Neo4j to Java-annotated classes using Spring Data Neo4j
  • Accessing the embedded Neo4j from Python
  • Accessing Neo4j from Python using the REST bindings
  • Annotate the Python object model to the Neo4j graph database
  • Accessing the embedded Neo4j from Ruby
  • Accessing Neo4j from Ruby using the REST bindings
  • Accessing Neo4j from Scala
  • Accessing Neo4j from .NET
  • Accessing Neo4j from PHP
  • Accessing Neo4j from Node.js

Introduction

In this chapter, we will take a look at the various ways in which you can connect to Neo4j. Neo4j is a high-performance graph database, which gives the flexibility to access it from various languages and in different options. The two most popular ones being the embedded option and the server mode. The embedded mode gives the user the power to embed it within the application to get high performance with low latency, whereas the server mode gives the user the flexibility to access the services using the REST endpoint, making it (virtually) language-neutral. Let's briefly discuss both the modes:

  • The embedded mode: The Neo4j graph database can be directly embedded into the application, making it look like a single binary executable file. It can be accessed using the appropriate Java binding.
  • The server mode: The Neo4j graph database can run in the server mode, in which its services can be accessed from any host, using the REST endpoints that are exposed by the Neo4j server...

Accessing Neo4j from the command line using the Neo4j shell

Often, you will find yourself in the need of firing simple Neo4j operations, either to create a node or delete a node, query the total number of nodes, or to poke into the Neo4j graph database. With Neo4j, this can easily be done through the command-line interface.

Neo4j can also be accessed from the command line like the Unix shell. Although it is less likely that this mode is going to be used in production, it's very handy when it comes to development and debugging. In this recipe and the next recipe, we will explore the two ways to connect to Neo4j from the command-line interface, which are using the Neo4j shell and curl.

In this recipe, we will learn how to connect to Neo4j from the command-line interface.

Getting ready

Neo4j ships with a command-line client called the Neo4j shell. The Neo4j shell is a fully featured interactive shell that supports line editing, history, and various help options. Using man followed by a Neo4j...

Accessing Neo4j from the command line using curl

Curl is a popular command-line tool used to access and transfer the data using various protocols. Because the REST API uses the HTTP protocol to transfer data, the curl tool becomes a command-line tool that is used to access the REST API, which is exposed by the Neo4j graph database server.

In this recipe, we will learn how to access the Neo4j graph database server using curl.

Getting ready

The service root endpoint by default is http://host:port/db/data/, which can also be seen through the web interface by opening the endpoint URL in the browser. You will see something similar to this:

Getting ready

How to do it...

Let's access the Neo4j graph database server using the REST endpoint via the curl command-line tool:

  1. Start the Neo4j graph database server using the following command:
    $ ./neo4j start

    To check whether things are running fine, open http://localhost:7474/db/data/ in a browser.

    The browser sends the text/HTML as the accepted encoding, but in curl...

Accessing Neo4j from the Java libraries

Java is at the sweet spot when it comes to the Neo4j language bindings, as Neo4j itself is implemented in Java. Most of the other language bindings, which access Neo4j as an embedded application, have been built on Java. In this recipe, we will take a look at the various ways to connect to Neo4j in Java.

In this recipe, we will learn how to access Neo4j in the most powerful way.

Getting ready

Neo4j can be embedded into the Java application, which can provide you with high-performance query results. Follow these steps to embed it into the application:

  1. Neo4j JAR files can be found in the lib directory of the source code. Include all the JAR files present in this directory. Alternatively, the JAR files are also present in the Maven repository.
  2. Add Neo4j to the build path and also add it as a dependency. Detailed information on this can be found at http://docs.neo4j.org/chunked/milestone/tutorials-java-embedded-setup.html.

Accessing Neo4j using the Java REST bindings

Neo4j can also be accessed using the Java REST bindings, which allows it to be accessed from remote nodes easily. In this recipe, we will take a look at the ways of accessing Neo4j from Java using the REST bindings.

Getting ready

The Neo4j REST interface provides an easy way to access Neo4j graph database remotely.

Follow these instructions to go through this recipe:

Start the Neo4j graph database server using the following command:

$ ./neo4j start

To check whether the REST interface is running fine, open http://localhost:7474/db/data/ in a browser.

How to do it...

This problem can be dealt with in two ways, which are described as follows:

Developing your own Neo4j REST client

There are many REST Java client libraries that can be utilized to write your own REST API client for Neo4j. The bad part is that you have to deal with all the possible scenarios and error cases. One example is using the Jersey client, which is shown in the following code:

final String...

Mapping Neo4j to Java-annotated classes using Spring Data Neo4j

Spring Data Neo4j can increase the productivity of Java by many folds when dealing with Neo4j. It provides a Plain Old Java Objects (POJO) based programming model that significantly reduces the amount of boilerplate code needed to develop Neo4j-based applications. It helps the developer to think in terms of an object-oriented approach, which is easily extendible to add new data models and enhance existing ones (properties, entities, and relationships).

In this recipe, we will learn the use of Neo4j with Spring Data Neo4j.

Getting ready

To step through this recipe, we will need the following configurations to be set before:

The following is the Maven configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-data-neo4j</artifactId>
  <version>2.3.1.RELEASE</version>

    import neo4j
db_obj =  neo4j.GraphDatabase(DB_PATH)
# All write operations on graph database happens in transaction
with db_obj.transaction:
  node = db_obj.node(name...

Accessing Neo4j from Python using the REST bindings

The REST interface is widely used and in this recipe, we will learn how to access Neo4j from Python using the REST Bindings.

Getting ready

The py2neo module (http://py2neo.org/2.0/) is an excellent Python binding module used to connect to the Neo4j REST API server.

The py2neo module can be installed from both pip and easy_install, as shown here:

$ pip install py2neo
$ easy_install py2neo

How to do it...

The following steps will get you started with this recipe:

  1. First, we will create our first node assuming the default installation, as shown in the following code:

    from py2neo import neo4j
graph = neo4j.GraphDatabaseService(ENDPOINT_URL)
graph.create(node(name="A")

  2. Next, let's create our first relation using the py2neo module:

    from py2neo import neo4j
graph = neo4j.Graph(ENDPOINT_URL)
graph.create(node(name="A"),
             node(name="B"))
rel(1, "PLAYS WITH", 2)
rel(2, "FATHER OF", 1)

Annotate the Python object model to the Neo4j graph database

In this recipe, we will learn how to map the Python object model to the Neo4j graph database server.

This is a pretty comprehensive book - that almost covers everything you would like to know about Neo4J and how to solve business and technical problems with it. This is one place the reader can go and have an extremely very good idea about Neo4J its capabilities and featuresFor anyone working with Neo4J this is the single reference one needs to go to solve their problems.Most of the examples work as it is out of the box. I have worked pretty extensively with GraphDBs and I love Neo4J.This book could have been 5* had it covered the following - 1) Comparisons with other GraphDBs in the market. 2) Performance improvements 3) Some more treatment of the Basic Graph Algorithms - like TSP and Graph Centrality 4) How Neo4J achieves its speed in terms of the internal data structures2) and 4) are pretty advanced topics.Overall I would highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to start and get going with Neo4J and then run with itEnjoyed the book

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
