Neo4j Cypher Guide

If you're building text2cypher tools or having LLMs generate Neo4j queries, this guide keeps you out of trouble with deprecated syntax. It covers the critical stuff like why id() is gone (use elementId() instead), how to handle null values when sorting (always filter them), and when to reach for modern patterns like Quantified Path Patterns for complex traversals. The checklist format makes it easy to validate generated queries before they hit production. Most valuable if you're migrating from older Neo4j versions or need to teach an LLM the difference between legacy pattern expressions and modern COLLECT subqueries. The sorting gotchas alone will save you debugging time.
