Neo4j for Java Developers
summary
Covers concrete tooling and examples: shows the Java driver with driver.execQuery (built‑in retries), Spring/Quarkus/Helidon auto‑configuration, Spring Data Neo4j object mapping that maps Person and Movie records and returns the actor with three movies from the sample movie graph, and the typesafe CypherDSL that compiles to valid Cypher. Demonstrates JDBC SQL→Cypher translation (tested with DBeaver) and reproducible tests via Neo4j Testcontainers plus schema versioning with Neo4j‑Migrations.
