Neo4j Tools

Neo4j provides a complete ecosystem of tools for working with the Neo4j graph database, including:

In this lesson, you will learn about some of the tools available in the Neo4j console.

You can learn about other methods of interacting with Neo4j in other GraphAcademy courses.

Console

The Neo4j Console brings together the tools you need to get started using Neo4j.

You can:

  • Manage your Neo4j Aura instances.

  • Import data.

  • Explore and visualize your data.

  • Query your data using Cypher.

Import

The Neo4j Import tool (or Data Importer) is a "no-code" tool that facilitates data importing into Neo4j. Its graphical user interface allows for simple data conversion into nodes and relationships.

Data Importer allows you to:

  • Visually define the graph data model, including nodes, relationships, and properties.

  • Upload source data files.

  • Map fields to properties.

  • Define unique ID constraints and indexes.

Data importer is an excellent tool for quickly importing data into Neo4j without writing any code.

Learn more in the Importing Data Fundamentals course.

Explore

Explore (or Neo4j Bloom) is a graph exploration tool for visually interacting with graph data.

You can create queries to explore the patterns in your data and visualize the results.

Bloom is accessible to everyone and a great tool for experimentation and presentation.

Query

The Query tool (or Browser) allows you to write and execute Cypher queries.
