Cypher Query Language

A declarative graph query language, created by Neo4j, that uses ASCII-art patterns such as (a)-[:REL]->(b) to match nodes and relationships.

Definition

Cypher is available as the open standard openCypher and strongly influenced ISO GQL, the graph query language standard published in 2024.

Example

MATCH (c:Customer)-[:BOUGHT]->(p:Product) WHERE p.sku = 'A1' RETURN c.name

Exam tip

Recognize Cypher from its parentheses-and-arrows pattern syntax.
