Cypher

Cypher is a specialized language used to interact with graph databases, which organize data as interconnected nodes and relationships. Think of it as a way to efficiently ask questions and retrieve information about complex networks—such as social connections, transportation routes, or organizational structures. Cypher allows users to describe patterns and connections in a readable syntax, making it easier to navigate and analyze how different data points relate to each other. It’s a powerful tool for querying and managing data structured as a graph, enabling insights that are difficult to achieve with traditional databases.
