Neo4j - Cypher vs Scala -Neo4j API

Question

I am new to both Scala and Neo4j. I wanted to use the Neo4j built into my Scala project. What is the best way to use it among Cypher and Scala-Neo4j API requests?

Answer 1

I would say that Cypher is the easiest, most documented and declarative way to interact with Neo4j. I would switch to the scala / java API for only two reasons:

• Missing features, such as mandatory workarounds (if necessary)

• Performance that is currently still better in some cases with a built-in API until Cypher builds on the new high-performance Java API
