The GQL ISO standard has been officially published as the new international standard for graph query languages, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of graph database languages. The development of GQL is a result of efforts by Neo4j and other vendors to create a standardized language that can unify the various query languages used in the industry. The openCypher project, which was initially launched as an open initiative to make Cypher available to the ecosystem, has been rebranded as a means to help Cypher database and tooling vendors transition to GQL. The new standard promises to bring about convergence in the graph query language scene, making it easier for users and developers to find common ground and work together.
