GraphAware Neo4j TimeTree
A Java and REST library for representing time as an on-demand tree in Neo4j, enabling temporal event modeling and queries.
What is GraphAware Neo4j TimeTree?
GraphAware Neo4j TimeTree is a library for modeling time as a hierarchical tree structure within the Neo4j graph database. It dynamically creates time-instant nodes (from years down to milliseconds) on-demand, allowing developers to efficiently represent and query temporal data by linking event nodes to specific time instants. This approach avoids the overhead of pre-generating time structures while supporting time zones and flexible event attachment.
Developers building Neo4j-based applications that require efficient temporal data modeling and querying, such as event logging, time-series analysis, or historical data tracking. It is specifically for users of Neo4j Community Edition with the GraphAware Framework Community, as the open-source version is incompatible with Neo4j Enterprise Edition.
Developers choose this library for its on-demand tree generation, which reduces storage and complexity compared to pre-built time hierarchies, and its built-in support for multi-resolution time instants, time zones, and event attachment via Cypher procedures and REST APIs. Its pragmatic approach balances flexibility with performance for diverse temporal querying needs.
