Re: [Neo] Neo4j RESTful traversal API
Alastair, that sounds very cool. I'm very interested in getting Neo4j to workwith PHP as well. And like you I've had to put development onto the back burner for a while. I'd like to help somehow but with your specific question about traversal, I'm not sure I can be of much help. I don't know if you've considered the other alternatives. I've added quite a bit of info to the Neo-Wiki about using PHP. Maybe you have seen it already. I'd give you the direct link but the neo4j website is currently down :( Mainly I did some testing to show that it is feasible to access ne4j from PHP using javabridge. I thionk Peter has developed this further (there is a post somewhere in the mailing list). Javabride is one alternative. there are two others. One the RESTful API and another would be direct integration into the PHP language similar to the way MongoDB is integrated. I wanted to experiment with both of theses but haven't gotten around to it. I'm glad your'e working in this direction also. Andy Potter On Monday 22 March 2010 10:12:38 Alastair James wrote: HI there.

Re: [Neo] Neo4j RESTful traversal API
Guys, we are working on getting the site up again - our provider changed servers on us! Sorry for the inconvenience! Regarding REST, we are back on it starting this week, shortly Mattias will outline our way forward and ask for input from you all, so tune in and contribute!
