Spring Data Neo4j POJO Based Development
Spring Data Neo4j enables POJO based development for graph databases like Neo4j. It extends annotated entity classes with transparent mapping functionality. Spring Data Neo4j is part of the bigger Spring Data project which aims to provide convenient support for NOSQL databases.
“I’m excited about Spring Data Neo4j … Spring Data Neo4j makes working with Neo4j amazingly easy, and therefore has the potential to make you more successful as a developer. … I encourage you to explore Spring Data, and — better still — become involved in the community and contribute.”
Rod Johnson, Founder, Spring and SVP, Application Platform, VMware
