The Neo4j browser
Neo4j provides a UI-based interactive console for performing CRUD operations on the
Neo4j database. The Neo4j browser not only provides the console for executing Cypher
queries but also a REST client to invoke the REST endpoints exposed by the Neo4j server.
In this section, we will talk about the step-by-step process involved in executing Cypher
queries using the Neo4j browser.
Perform the following steps for running your Cypher queries in the Neo4j browser:
1. Assuming that your server has already started, open a new browser window and
type
http://localhost:7474
in the navigation bar of the browser. This will
show you the Neo4j browser where you can execute your Cypher queries.
2. Next, click on the
Get some data
button from the left navigation pane and then ex-
ecute the query by clicking on the right arrow sign that will appear on the extreme
right corner, just below the browser navigation bar, which will look something like
this:
You can also click on the specific node to see its properties and type/execute other Cypher
queries in the space given next to
$
(below the browser navigation bar) as shown in the pre-
ceding screenshot. You can also invoke REST endpoints by clicking on
REST API
from
the left navigation pane.
In this section, we walked you through the different ways to perform CRUD operation us-
ing various APIs exposed by Neo4j. You have not only executed your "first Cypher query"
