Part 3: Advanced Cypher Concepts

This part introduces the more advanced concepts of Cypher querying. It explains how to work with lists and maps in Cypher as input as well as output along with processing them using Cypher. It also introduces the concept of querying for data that may not always exist and how to handle those scenarios. Later, it introduces APOC functions and procedures to be able to perform operations that may not be possible with core Cypher. At the end of this part, you will be able to leverage lists and maps in theory queries and also understand how to tune queries for performance.

This part comprises the following chapters:

• Chapter 7, Working with Lists and Maps
• Chapter 8, Advanced Query Patterns
• Chapter 9, Query Tuning
• Chapter 10, Using APOC Utilities
• Chapter 11, Cypher Ecosystem
• Chapter 12, Tips and Tricks
