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 constructed values
Boolean, numeric, and string literals
Temporal values
Spatial values
Lists
Maps
Vectors Introduced in Neo4j 2025.10
Graph references
Working with null
Casting data values
Equality, ordering, and comparison of value types
