Neo4j Cheat Sheet

This section documents the current Neo4j 2026.x calendar-versioned line — Neo4j moved from semantic to calendar versioning (YYYY.MM) in 2025, and the same line applies to the Graph Data Science library — as published at the Neo4j documentation, which is the reference these pages are written and verified against. No specific monthly patch is pinned. Some areas (Aura’s internal infrastructure, the Raft consensus implementation details, and the GDS Pregel API’s low-level internals) are linked, not documented in depth.

This content was generated with the assistance of AI and should be verified against the official documentation before being relied on in production, as Neo4j iterates quickly.

This section’s bibliography lists the reference material consulted while preparing these pages.

A single-page index of quick back-links to every page in this section, grouped the same way as the section itself — handy for jumping straight to the topic you need instead of paging through the full navigation.

Foundations — Getting started with Neo4j, The property graph model, Cypher fundamentals, Advanced Cypher querying, and Graph data modeling.

Operating a Neo4j database — Importing data, Indexes and constraints, Transactions and drivers, APOC and the extension ecosystem, Security & administration, and Clustering & multi-database.

Graph Data Science — Graph Data Science fundamentals, Pathfinding and centrality algorithms, Community detection algorithms, Similarity, embeddings and ML pipelines, and Vector Search and GenAI.

Applying it — Use Cases and Algorithms in Practice and Neo4j vs. relational and other graph databases.
