Query Graphs with "Graph"QL

Despite the “Graph” in the name, GraphQL is mostly used to query relational databases or object models. But it is really well suited to querying graph databases too.

In this talk, I’ll demonstrate how I implemented a GraphQL endpoint for the Neo4j graph database and how you would use it in your application.

We'll be taking questions live during the session but if you have any before hand be sure to post them in the #neo4j-online-meetup channel of the Neo4j users slack (http://www.neo4j.com/slack).

We'll be hosting this session on YouTube live.
