Neo4j Bolt Protocol

The Neo4j Bolt Protocol is a binary application protocol designed for efficient execution of database queries using the Cypher query language. It operates over TCP or WebSocket connections on the default port 7687 and serves as the foundation for all official Neo4j drivers including Java, Python, JavaScript, .NET, and Go. The protocol supports both direct connections via the bolt:// scheme and routing connections via bolt+routing:// for clustered deployments.
