=== Neo4j
http://neo4j.com/[Neo4j] is an open-source NoSQL graph database that uses a rich data
model of nodes related by first class relationships, which is better suited for connected
big data than traditional rdbms approaches. Spring Boot offers several conveniences for
model of nodes connected by first class relationships, which is better suited for connected
big data than traditional RDBMS approaches. Spring Boot offers several conveniences for
working with Neo4j, including the `spring-boot-starter-data-neo4j` "`Starter`".

==== Connecting to a Neo4j Database
You can inject an auto-configured `Neo4jSession`, `Session`, or `Neo4jOperations`
instance as you would any other Spring Bean. By default, the instance tries to connect to
a Neo4j server at `localhost:7474`. The following example shows how to inject a Neo4j
bean:
To access a Neo4j server, you can inject an auto-configured `org.neo4j.ogm.session.Session`.

protocol. The following example shows how to inject a Neo4j session:

You can take full control of the configuration by adding a

If you add `org.neo4j:neo4j-ogm-embedded-driver` to the dependencies of your application,
Spring Boot automatically configures an in-process embedded instance of Neo4j that does
not persist any data when your application shuts down. You can explicitly disable that
mode by setting `spring.data.neo4j.embedded.enabled=false`. You can also enable
persistence for the embedded mode by providing a path to a database file, as shown in the

[NOTE]
====
As the embedded Neo4j OGM driver does not provide the Neo4j kernel itself, you have
to declare `org.neo4j:neo4j` as dependency yourself. Refer to
https://neo4j.com/docs/ogm-manual/current/reference/#reference:getting-started[the
Neo4j OGM documentation] for list of compatible versions.

The embedded driver takes precedence over the other drivers when there are multiple
drivers on the classpath. You can explicitly disable the embedded mode by setting

The Neo4j OGM embedded driver does not provide the Neo4j kernel. Users are expected to
provide this dependency manually. See

==== Spring Data Neo4j Repositories
Spring Data includes repository support for Neo4j.
In fact, both Spring Data JPA and Spring Data Neo4j share the same common infrastructure.
You could take the JPA example from earlier and, assuming that `City` is now a Neo4j OGM
`@NodeEntity` rather than a JPA `@Entity`, it works in the same way.
TIP: You can customize entity scanning locations by using the `@EntityScan` annotation.
To enable repository support (and optionally support for `@Transactional`), add the
following two annotations to your Spring configuration:

@EnableNeo4jRepositories(basePackages = "com.example.myapp.repository")
@EnableTransactionManagement

==== Repository Example
The following example shows an interface definition for a Neo4j repository:
Spring Data Neo4j shares the common infrastructure with Spring Data JPA as many other
Spring Data modules do. You could take the JPA example from earlier and define
`City` as Neo4j OGM `@NodeEntity` rather than JPA `@Entity` and the repository
abstraction works in the same way, as shown in the following example:
[source,java,indent=0]

package com.example.myapp.domain;

TIP: For complete details of Spring Data Neo4j, including its rich object mapping
technologies, refer to the https://projects.spring.io/spring-data-neo4j/[reference
documentation].
The `spring-boot-starter-data-neo4j` "`Starter`" enables the repository support as well
as transaction management. You can customize the locations to look for repositories and
entities by using `@EnableNeo4jRepositories` and `@EntityScan` respectively on a
`@Configuration`-bean.

technologies, refer to the https://projects.spring.io/spring-data-neo4j/[project page] and
