Cypher: An Evolving Query Language for Property Graphs
Summary: Cypher 9, governed by openCypher Implementers Group, evolves Neo4j property-graph language. Formalizes read queries, ASCII Art pattern matching, and outlines Cypher 10 for compositionality, graph projections, and multi-graph support. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
