What is Aspen?
Aspen is like Markdown but for graph data.
- Nobody
Aspen is a simple markup language for creating graph data.
Aspen lets you write about people, places, things, and the relationships between them using marked-up text, and converts your text to valid Cypher that can be used in Neo4j graph databases.
So, Aspen is both a markup language and a software tool that converts text to Cypher.
Aspen does not aspire to be a query language—Cypher is a truly elegant language for querying graph data, and we’re frankly in awe of it. Aspen is intended to make it easy to write graph data by hand.
