Summary

Neo4j Browser is a user interface that combines the features of a REPL and a lightweight IDE, allowing users to write and run Cypher queries in a meaningful way. The editor along the top provides a single-line query input area where users can type and execute queries, with result frames displaying either table data or graph visualizations of nodes and relationships. Users can save scripts, edit previous queries, and interact with the sidebar to load content such as help pages and mini guides. The interface is designed to be both functional and educational, demonstrating how things are done while showing users how to smoothly transition into application development. With plans for extending its approach to integrate with everyday workflows, Neo4j Browser debuted at Graph Connect in San Francisco and is available for download today.
