JSON loader plugin for Neo4j

Welcome to the Neo4j JSON loader project.

The main goal of this project is to provide a configurable Neo4j server extension to load, transform and save JSON documents into the graph.

Please be aware that this project is still under development and at this first stage will work only for a restricted set of data models.

Looking for contributors If you are interested in contributing to this project we would love to hear from you and encourage you to submit a Pull Request.

Usage

This example shows how to use build, install and run this server extension:

1. Download Neo4j and extract it into your $PATH_TO_YOUR_NEO4J_TEST_INSTANCE: wget http://dist.neo4j.org/neo4j-community-2.3.2-unix.tar.gz
2. Edit $PATH_TO_YOUR_NEO4J_TEST_INSTANCE/conf/neo4-server.conf adding dbms.security.auth_enabled=false - BE AWARE! Just for testing purpose, so you can avoid passing credentials during tests.
3. Edit $PATH_TO_YOUR_NEO4J_TEST_INSTANCE/conf/neo4-server.conf adding org.neo4j.server.thirdparty_jaxrs_classes=it.larusba.integration.neo4j.jsonloader.rest=/jsonloader - To active this server extension
4. Clone this repository into your $PATH_TO_JSON_LOADER: git clone https://github.com/larusba/neo4j-json-loader.git
5. cd $PATH_TO_JSON_LOADER/neo4j-json-loader
6. Run mvn clean package
7. Copy PATH_TO_JSON_LOADER/target/neo4j-json-loader-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar and its dependencies PATH_TO_JSON_LOADER/target/lib/*.jar into your neo4j test instance at $PATH_TO_YOUR_NEO4J_TEST_INSTANCE/plugins
8. Start Neo4j PATH_TO_YOUR_NEO4J_TEST_INSTANCE/bin/neo4j start
9. Run curl -v -X PUT -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d '{"content": "{\"firstname\": \"Lorenzo\", \"lastname\": \"Speranzoni\", \"age\": 41, \"job\": \"CEO @ LARUS Business Automation\"}", "type":"Person"}' http://localhost:7474/jsonloader/

Current implementation should print an early draft version of the cypher script that will be used to load JSON data into neo4j.
