Neo4jr-Social is a self contained HTTP REST + JSON interface to the graph database Neo4j. Neo4jr-Social supports simple dynamic node creation, building relationships between nodes and also includes a few common social networking queries out of the box (i.e. linkedin degrees of seperation and facebook friend suggestion) with more to come. Think of Neo4jr-Social is to Neo4j like Solr is to Lucene.

Neo4jr-Social was built in JRuby but is language agnostic and is designed to run on it’s own under a Jetty or Tomcat configuration.

All responses are JSON. When using the service from a browser the response will be formatted as html to be even more human readable.
