Represent Neo4j graph data as YAML.


Features
--------

* Creates nodes and relationships in a Neo4j graph database from YAML using
  PyYAML-specific tags.
* Operates at a whole-file level, as it uses custom YAML tags to deserialize
  the data to live objects.
* Developed for loading data for integration testing.
* Requires a running Neo4j instance and instantiates actual database entities,
  rather than just generating abstract/unbound ``py2neo.Node`` and
  ``py2neo.Relationship`` objects. This is due to ``py2neo`` version
  1.6 not supporting node labels with abstract nodes. This might be changed if
  we are able to migrate off of 1.6 in the near future.

Versions
--------

Python
    Tested with both Python 2.7 and 3.6.
Neo4j
    Should work with anything >= 2.0. Tested with 3.3.5. Running the
    tests requires 2.3 as it uses the ``DETACH DELETE`` feature to drop the
    database.
``py2neo``
    Currently supports 1.6 and 2.0.
``pyyaml``
    Tested with PyYAML v3.13.

Testing
-------

Running the tests requires an installed, running Neo4j instance. Pass the URL
through the environment variable ``NEO4J_URI``.

Future
------

* Make nodes just dicts with 'labels' and 'properties' keys? Maybe make rels
  dicts with 'head', 'tail', 'type' and 'properties' keys too?
* Add a context manager to register with PyYAML, create graph database
  connection and then cleanup.
* Support locating nodes with a Cypher query as part of creating a
  relationship.
* Add ``gryaml-dump`` CLI tool to render database (or query result) as YAML.
* Test/support ``ruamel.yaml``.
* Add ability to update & display schema.
* Later ``py2neo``.   Dependent mainly on supporting later versions in
  py2neo_compat_.
* Documentation more complete & published to ReadTheDocs.

History
-------

1.0.0 (2018-08-02)
++++++++++++++++++

* Require registration for YAML constructors & representers -- this no longer
  happens automatically as a side-effect of importing the ``gryaml`` package.
* Add "simple" constructors & representers, to convert Nodes or Relationships
  to plain YAML structures or YAML structures tagged with '!gryaml.*' to
  plain Python structures.
* Reorganized repo so package is in ``src/``.
* Added more tests.
* Use ``py2neo_compat`` as compatibility layer.

0.4.0 (2017-08-30)
++++++++++++++++++

* Enable using application-specific tags ``gryaml.node`` and ``gryaml.rel`` to
  construct instead of PyYAML's general-purpose ``!python/object/apply:``.

0.3.1 (2016-10-28)
++++++++++++++++++

* Fix assumption that a non-*None* instance of
  *GraphDatabaseService* in py2neo 1.6 would not be *False*.

0.3.0 (2016-10-28)
++++++++++++++++++

* Fix so that it should mostly work with py2neo 1.6 in addition to py2neo 2.0.
  py2neo 1.6 does not support abstract nodes without labels, so it must be used
  against a live database, whereas py2neo 2.0 does not. (py2neo v3 support is
  in progress.)

0.2.0 (2016-07-05)
++++++++++++++++++

* Initial implementation of working constructors with some basic testing.

0.1.0 (2015-11-11)
++++++++++++++++++

* First tagged release. No working code, just ideas of what the YAML might look
  like. Not released on PyPI.
