Summary

The Neo4j-Drupal module is a powerful integration that enables non-developers to work with graph databases using a graphical user interface. It combines the content modeling capabilities of Drupal with the data modeling features of Neo4j, allowing users to create complex systems without extensive coding knowledge. The module has been re-implemented under a separate namespace and uses the Bolt PHP driver for improved performance. It supports both Drupal 7 and 8 versions, but the Drupal 8 version is currently more feature-rich due to its richer APIs. The module provides a simple way to integrate Neo4j with Drupal's Rules module, enabling site builders to define actions that can be triggered by events without writing code. With this integration, users can explore graph databases using a GUI and take advantage of the capabilities offered by Neo4j in the Drupal ecosystem.
