The title of this post may be a bit confusing--what does Neo4j have to do with Spray JSON? (I know that they both run on the JVM, don't try to be a smart ar*e.) Neo4j is a graph database and to make it useful for our systems, the vertices and edges can have properties. These properties can be String
s, numbers, Date
s and such like. So, how are we going to squeeze rich structures in our objects into these (scalar) properties?
