Values and types

Cypher® supports a range of data values. When writing Cypher queries, it is not possible to declare a data type. Rather, Cypher will automatically infer the data type of a given value.

More information about the data values and types supported by Cypher can be found in the following sections:

  • Property, structural, and composite values

  • Temporal values

  • Spatial values

  • Working with null

  • Lists

  • Maps

  • Casting data values
