https://www.tigergraph.com/, maker of the https://www.tigergraph.com/getstarted/ of the same name, has announced phased support for https://opencypher.org/, the open source implementation of the https://neo4j.com/developer/cypher/, established by TigerGraph competitor https://neo4j.com/?utm_content=inline-mention. The New Stack spoke with TigerGraph COO, https://www.linkedin.com/in/toddblaschka/, and its VP of Product Innovation, https://www.linkedin.com/in/jay-jiebing-yu-ph-d-7b97a8/, to discuss the significance of this news.
One facet of that is the various graph database query languages themselves, some of which are supported by multiple platforms, but none of which is supported universally.
TigerGraph believes this will enable more developers to adopt its platform and will constitute important support for the graph community’s query language consolidation efforts. The developer appeal shouldn’t be underestimated, as the syntax of the various graph query languages can differ significantly.
