Export neo4j database in json file

Question

I want to export Neo4j graph database in JSON file. This is a Export JSON button in Neo4j web UI version as shown in attached image below. But what is the equivalent command for the same task in Neo4j shell. Thanks

Accepted Answer

The `json` exported by the browser is exactly what is getting sent to the transactional cypher endpoint. This is not directly accessible via `neo4j-shell`, but you might use any command line `http` client like `cURL` or `httpie`.

For httpie it's as simple as:

```
 http -b -j localhost:7474/db/data/transaction/commit statements:='[{"statement": "<your cypher goes here>", "parameters": { cypher parameters go here as map }]'
```

However it is simple to extend `neo4j-shell`, see Michael's `neo4j-shell-tools`.
