Spring Data Neo4j is an open-source library that enables automatic mapping of Java domain hierarchies to and from Neo4j graphs, achieving maximum performance with standalone Neo4j server deployments. The library has been re-designed for improved performance and introduces innovations such as non-reflection based classpath scanning, variable-depth persistence, smart object-mapping, user-definable session lifetimes, and more. Vince Bickers and Michael Hunger will showcase the library's capabilities in a talk at GraphConnect Europe, where hundreds of graph enthusiasts from across Europe will gather to learn about graph database technology. The conference is focused on the growing world of Graph Database technology, with hot startups and global 2000 companies sharing their experiences on how graphs power their applications.
