The Neo4j drivers team has introduced a new API that simplifies the experience of new users getting started with Neo4j, offering an equivalent of an automatic transmission mode to the existing manual transmission-like interface. This new API shields many complex aspects from the user while retaining them for sophisticated use cases and is idiomatic depending on the language. The changes include results being delivered to memory without requiring an additional step, session and transaction objects are called by executeQuery automatically, retry behavior is the same but without requiring lambdas or callbacks, bookmarks are passed automatically, and configuration options are set by default but accessible for change using a QueryConfig object. The new API reduces code complexity and provides control to the developer as their requirements change, with plans to remove the experimental tags and promote its use for new users in the future.
