Neo4J



Official definition
Neo4j is a graph database. It is an embedded, disk-based, fully transactional Java persistence engine that stores data structured in graphs rather than in tables. A graph (mathematical lingo for a network) is a flexible data structure that allows a more agile and rapid style of development.


Hello, I was and I am still trying to get some free time, to test and do some small experiment with Neo4j. Some months ago, I assisted to one of the always interesting conferences of the 'London Geek Nights' in ThoughtWorks.

Neo4j and graphs databases, were new stuff for my overloaded head. I was able to see the potential of this graphs databases, even though it is hard to see the practical uses of this DB. I hope to be, one day, working in a project that will need Neo4j, what will give me more better knowledge of this tool.


As soon as, I do some tests, I will post them  here in order to share it. Until then, this is my reference to Neo4j and graph databases.

Do you have a good idea to test?
