Movies Example Application

How to use Spring Boot, Spring Data, and Neo4j together.

Spring Data Neo4j enables convenient integration of Neo4j in your Spring-based application. It provides object-graph mapping (OGM) functionality and other features common to the Spring Data projects.

Note	This project uses Spring Data Neo4j 6. The previous version, using SDN 5 + OGM can still be accessed under the https://github.com/neo4j-examples/movies-java-spring-data-neo4j/tree/sdn5-ogm branch.

Note	For a broader overview of Spring Data Neo4j 6 with the same dataset, you can access the https://github.com/neo4j-examples/movies-java-spring-data-neo4j/tree/sdn6-full-example branch.

The example project is described in detail on the Neo4j Developer Site

The project uses Java 11.
