Cypher: The graph Query Language

No More Complex Joins

Cypher is a powerful, intuitive, graph-optimized query language that understands, and takes advantage of, data connections. It’s user-friendly, easy to learn, and follows connections – in any direction – to reveal previously unknown relationships and clusters.

When trying to find patterns or insights within data, Cypher queries are much simpler and easier to write than massive SQL joins. Since Neo4j doesn’t have tables, there are no joins to worry about. Compare the Cypher query at the left with its equivalent in SQL.

SELECT p.ProductName

JOIN ProductCategory pc5 ON (pc4.ParentID = pc5.CategoryID AND pc5.CategoryName = "Dairy Products");

Use Your Favorite Programming Languages

We aim to make the Neo4j experience fast, natural, and fun for developers. Neo4j supports GraphQL and drivers for .Net, Java, Node.js, Python, and more. Our community of contributors provide many more drivers, including PHP, Ruby, R, Erlang, and Clojure.
