Neo4j java rest binding

Question

I am trying to get more familiar with the java-rest-binding ( https://github.com/neo4j/java-rest-binding ).

My main question is what operations of the GraphDatabaseService supports.

For example I read here that GlobalGraphOperation are not supported, but the tests use them. I have the final release (2.0.1). In adittion to this I would like to know if there is a significant defference between

GraphDatabaseService gds = new RestGraphDatabase("http://localhost:7474/db/data"); 

and

RestAPI restAPI = new RestAPIFacade("http://localhost:7474/db/data");` 

or it's the same way to connect to the neo4j server.

Answer 1

The java-rest-binding is a flaky abstraction over REST-Operations over the wire. Unless you have a really good reason to use it, I wouldn't use it.

What's your actual use-case that you want to solve?
