Structr (pronounce it like 'structure') is a Java framework for mobile and web applications based on the graph database Neo4j. It was designed to simplify the creation of complex graph database applications by providing a comprehensive Java API and a set of features common to most use cases. This enables developers to build a sophisticated web or mobile app based on Neo4j within hours.
Structr was awarded with the Graphie Award (by Neo4j maker Neo Technology) for the Most Innovative Open Source Graph Application in 2012.
