Question 1

Is GraphAware Neo4j PHP client still maintained?

Accepted Answer

No, the project is archived as stated in the README. For current PHP support, the maintainers recommend using neo4j-php or official Neo4j PHP resources, which are actively developed.

Question 2

How to connect to multiple Neo4j instances with GraphAware?

Accepted Answer

Use the ClientBuilder to add connections with aliases for each instance, and specify the alias in the run method. The README provides examples for setting up master-slave configurations and Bolt/HTTP protocols.

Question 3

GraphAware Neo4j PHP client or neo4j-php: which is better for new projects?

Accepted Answer

For new projects, neo4j-php is the better choice as it's actively maintained and recommended by Neo4j. GraphAware is feature-rich but deprecated, so it's only suitable for legacy systems or if you're already invested in it.

Question 4

How to handle transactions in GraphAware Neo4j client?

Accepted Answer

Create a transaction object, push queries or statement stacks, and then commit or rollback. The README shows how to use methods like transaction(), push(), and commit() for controlled ACID operations.

Question 5

Does GraphAware support Neo4j version 4.x?

Accepted Answer

It was tested up to Neo4j 3.0+, but since it's archived, compatibility with newer versions like 4.x is not guaranteed. You should check the official Neo4j PHP documentation or migration guides for up-to-date support.

Question 6

How to optimize query performance with GraphAware?

Accepted Answer

Use the Bolt protocol for binary efficiency, batch queries with Cypher statement stacks to reduce network overhead, and leverage connection management for HA setups as described in the performance features.
