Summary

The Neo4j GraphQL Library is a low-code, open source library designed to help developers build API-driven, intelligent applications faster by tapping into the power of connected data. With this library, developers can create seamless user experiences for their customers while avoiding duplicate schema work and ensuring flawless integration between front-end and backend developers. The library makes cross-platform and mobile development simpler with JavaScript applications, allowing users to create predictive, mission-critical, and context-aware apps with data-rich APIs that are more secure and reliable. It provides a range of benefits including translating GraphQL queries into a single Cypher query, simplifying modernizing applications for exceptional performance, generating Cypher from GraphQL, and giving access to Cyper query language for expressing complex graph traversals. The library is optimized for graph traversals, bringing performance optimizations to GraphQL implementations, and has a low learning curve, helping developers quickly build API-driven applications across open source frameworks. It also provides access to the Neo4j native graph database, which makes complex and multi-hop graph traversals highly performant, has a native graph data model mapping for graphs in the GraphQL schema, and optimizes query performance with unlimited scale.
