Neo4j Java Driver

An alpha-level database driver for a new Neo4j remoting protocol.

Note: This is in active development, the API is not stable. Please try it out and give us feedback, but expect things to break in the medium term!

Minimum viable snippet

Add the driver to your project:

<dependencies>
    [..]
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.neo4j.driver</groupId>
        <artifactId>neo4j-java-driver</artifactId>
        <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>
[..]
<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>neo4j-snapshot-repository</id>
        <name>Neo4j Maven 2 snapshot repository</name>
        <url>http://m2.neo4j.org/content/repositories/snapshots</url>
        <snapshots>
            <enabled>true</enabled>
        </snapshots>
        <releases>
            <enabled>false</enabled>
        </releases>
    </repository>
</repositories>

Connect to a Neo4j 3.0.0+ database

Driver driver = GraphDatabase.driver( "neo4j://localhost" );

Session session = driver.session();

Result rs = session.run("CREATE (n) RETURN n");

session.close();
