Using Neo4j with Community Drivers
Neo4j Community projects
In addition to the officially supported drivers, you can find their Community alternatives. Links to their relevant resources are provided below.
Members of the each programming language community have invested a lot of time and love to develop each one of the community drivers for Neo4j, so if you use any one of them, provide feedback to the authors.
|
The Community Drivers have been graciously contributed by the Neo4j community. Many of them are fully featured and well-maintained, but some may not be. Neo4j does not take any responsibility for their usability. |
.NET Community drivers
Neo4jClient

JavaScript Community drivers
js2neo
As an example of a minimal JavaScript based Bolt driver, you can use js2neo.
Python Community drivers
For anyone working with Python, the Neo4j community have contributed a range of driver options. These range from lightweight to comprehensive driver packages as well as libraries designed for use with web frameworks such as Django.
While Python 3 is preferred, some drivers still support Python 2, thus check with the individual project if you need it.
While we do not provide a specific web framework recommendation, both the lightweight Flask and the more comprehensive Django frameworks are known to work well.
Py2neo
Py2neo is a client library and comprehensive toolkit for working with Neo4j from within Python applications and from the command line. It has been carefully designed to be easy and intuitive to use.
