Neo4j的服务除了提供了基于java的客户端驱动包,同时也支持咱们经过rest服务访问它,这一点很是便捷,意味着任何支持http访问的编程语言均可以使用cypher的rest来访问neo4j,同时支持http报文以streaming的形式的返回数据,以得到更好的性能,并大幅度节省内存,固然前提是须要咱们在每一个request请求中在header中加入:java
X-Stream: true
默认想要访问neo4j服务,是须要受权认证的,第一次安装的 neo4j在登陆(http://localhost:7474)时是须要改密码的,默认是neo4j:neo4j,改完密码以后,每次登陆须要验证用户名和密码的。node
查询neo4j节点总数的例子编程
curl http://192.168.10.31:7474/db/data/transaction/commit -u neo4j:dong -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"statements" : [ { "statement" : "match (n) return count(n)" } ]}'
返回的结果以下:json
{ "results": [ { "columns": [ "count(n)" ], "data": [ { "row": [], "meta": [] } ] } ], "errors": [ ] }
注意上面的curl语句里面:api
(1)须要加上用户名和密码,若是开启了权限认证app
(2)要设置内容类型为json数据,同时采用了post请求curl
此外,若是不须要保持打开的事务横跨多个http请求,咱们可使用打开单个事务,而后执行cypher语句,最后提交仅仅单个http请求中。编程语言
咱们在同一个http请求中也能够发送多个cpyher语句,响应的结果体中会包含每一个cpyher语句结果。post
一个例子以下:性能
POST http://localhost:7474/db/data/transaction/commit Accept: application/json; charset=UTF-8 Content-Type: application/json
post请求体
{ "statements" : [ { "statement" : "CREATE (n) RETURN id(n)" }, { "statement" : "CREATE (n {props}) RETURN n", "parameters" : { "props" : { "name" : "My Node" } } } ] }
响应:
{ "results" : [ { "columns" : [ "id(n)" ], "data" : [ { "row" : [ 56 ], "meta" : [ null ] } ] }, { "columns" : [ "n" ], "data" : [ { "row" : [ { "name" : "My Node" } ], "meta" : [ { "id" : 57, "type" : "node", "deleted" : false } ] } ] } ], "errors" : [ ] }
DELETE http://localhost:7474/db/data/transaction/36 Accept: application/json; charset=UTF-8
响应的结果:
{ "results" : [ ], "errors" : [ ] }
注意上面是一个delete的rest请求。
POST http://localhost:7474/db/data/transaction/commit Accept: application/json; charset=UTF-8 Content-Type: application/json
请求体以下:
{ "statements" : [ { "statement" : "CREATE (n) RETURN id(n)", "includeStats" : true } ] }
请求结果以下:
{ "results" : [ { "columns" : [ "id(n)" ], "data" : [ { "row" : [ 58 ], "meta" : [ null ] } ], "stats" : { "contains_updates" : true, "nodes_created" : 1, "nodes_deleted" : 0, "properties_set" : 0, "relationships_created" : 0, "relationship_deleted" : 0, "labels_added" : 0, "labels_removed" : 0, "indexes_added" : 0, "indexes_removed" : 0, "constraints_added" : 0, "constraints_removed" : 0 } } ], "errors" : [ ] }
总结:
neo4j服务暴露的http rest接口仍是很是不错的,本篇文章简单的介绍了经过curl调用neo4j的方法,若是深刻学习或者研究,能够参考官网文档https://neo4j.com/docs/developer-manual/current/http-api/
