  Neo4j is the leading graph database platform, enabling developers to build
  applications powered by connected data. Their developer platform provides
  HTTP, Query, and Aura cloud APIs alongside official drivers for Python,
  Java, and JavaScript, as well as a GraphQL library for rapid API development
  backed by the Neo4j graph database.

    name: Neo4j HTTP API
    description: >-
      The Neo4j HTTP API allows developers to execute Cypher queries against
      a Neo4j database through HTTP requests. It supports both implicit
      transactions, where the API handles transaction management
      automatically, and explicit transactions, where developers control the
      full transaction lifecycle including open, commit, and rollback
      operations. By default the API uses port 7474 for HTTP and port 7473
      for HTTPS on self-managed instances.

    description: >-
      The Neo4j Query API enables the execution of Cypher statements against
      a Neo4j server through HTTP requests. It provides a streamlined
      interface for running graph database queries, supporting both
      self-managed and cloud-hosted Neo4j instances. The Query API is
      designed for applications that need to interact with Neo4j
      programmatically and is particularly useful for languages where a
      dedicated Neo4j driver is not available.

    description: >-
      The Neo4j Aura API provides programmatic access to manage Neo4j AuraDB
      cloud database instances. It supports operations across three primary
      resources: instances, tenants, and snapshots. Developers authenticate
      using OAuth2 bearer tokens obtained through client credentials, and can
      automate the provisioning, configuration, and management of their
      cloud-hosted Neo4j graph databases. The API is accessible through the
      console.neo4j.io platform.

    description: >-
      The Neo4j GraphQL Library is an open source JavaScript library that
      enables rapid development of GraphQL APIs backed by a Neo4j graph
      database. It automatically generates a single optimized Cypher query
      for each GraphQL query or mutation, eliminating the N+1 problem common
      in GraphQL implementations. The library supports schema-first
      development and integrates with Neo4j AuraDB for cloud-hosted
      deployments, making it suitable for cross-platform and mobile
      applications.

    description: >-
      The Neo4j Bolt Protocol is a binary application protocol designed for
      efficient execution of database queries using the Cypher query
      language. It operates over TCP or WebSocket connections on the default
      port 7687 and serves as the foundation for all official Neo4j drivers
      including Java, Python, JavaScript, .NET, and Go. The protocol
      supports both direct connections via the bolt:// scheme and routing
      connections via bolt+routing:// for clustered deployments.

      The Neo4j Python Driver is the official library for interacting with
      Neo4j graph databases from Python applications. It communicates using
      the Bolt protocol and supports both single instance and clustered
      database deployments. The driver is available on PyPI as the neo4j
      package and provides a comprehensive API for session management,
      transaction handling, and result processing.
