spring-boot-data-neo4j-reactive

To integrate Neo4j with Spring Boot, add the spring-boot-starter-data-neo4j dependency and configure your connection in application.properties to handle node and relationship mapping.

Yes, Spring Data Neo4j supports reactive repositories for database interactions, allowing you to execute Cypher queries and handle graph data reactively within your Spring Boot application.

You map node entities and relationships in Spring Data Neo4j using its annotations, which handle graph model mapping and Cypher query execution for your Neo4j database operations.

Yes, Spring Boot Neo4j integration offers testing capabilities with embedded Neo4j databases, allowing you to validate graph operations and Cypher queries without an external server.

Before connecting Spring Boot to Neo4j, you need the spring-boot-starter-data-neo4j dependency, a running Neo4j server, and connection properties configured in your application.properties file.

Use Neo4j instead of a relational database in Spring Boot when your application requires complex graph database operations, relationship-heavy data models, and Cypher query execution for connected data.
