Neo4j is flexible, as the structure and schema of a graph model can be easily adjusted to the changes in an application.
How is data presented in a graph database?
Graph Database presents data as entities, or nodes. Nodes can have properties that have further information. Nodes are connected to other nodes with edges. Each connection between two nodes can be labeled with properties.
Which is the best use case for graph database?
The Graph is the Best Database for Regulatory Compliance Systems Regulatory Compliance Systems are one of the most deployed use-cases for Graph Databases. The Graph Database is optimized for connected data applications such as GDPR, where data relationships are crucial.
