- crabbone 4y agoWas expecting to find the grammar, but found nothing of the kind. From my experience with how Cypher is implemented in Neo4j (admittedly, from a while back), it was a bunch of regular expressions and some hand-tailored string processing. There's nothing useful (for programmers who want to use Cypher) in the link you provided, just some information about the work group that works on this language. Without much research, I'd imagine that this is an organization sponsored or otherwise supported by Neo4j to promote the use of their database.
- ChicagoDave 4y agoOpenCypher is a group that includes Microsoft and others. The results will likely be the standard. Being able to match patterns in a graph is pretty much how you retrieve data. Being able to identify properties of relationships is what Cypher does extremely well. The GP thing from the OP is mathematical and useless for most software engineers.
