Yes, that would be a good solution for a small graph. Go for it and let us know how it works out! However, GraphML does not save your indexes and other triggers, just the raw graph. So, if you do this, be sure not to have data that is only in you indexes and not in the graph, and write an importer that can index the relevant parts again, if you are using indexes.
For making this easier, you might consider contributing to Nigel Smalls GEOFF plugin, see https://github.com/nigelsmall/neo4j-geoff-plugin that can capture even the index info and thus is better (albeit younger) than GraphML. You said you wanted to code!
