Quick start guides​
The following guides describe how to create a simple Hello, World! program that connects to the Memgraph database and executes simple queries:
Supported Languages​
If users wish to query Memgraph programmatically, they can do so using the Bolt protocol. Bolt was designed for efficient communication with graph databases and Memgraph supports versions 1 and 4 of the protocol. Bolt protocol drivers for some popular programming languages are listed below:
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)​
Secure connections are supported and disabled by default. The server initially
ships with a self-signed testing certificate. The certificate can be replaced
by editing the following parameters in /etc/memgraph/memgraph.conf:
--bolt-cert-file=/path/to/ssl/certificate.pem
--bolt-key-file=/path/to/ssl/privatekey.pem
To disable SSL support and use insecure connections to the database you should
set both parameters (--bolt-cert-file and --bolt-key-file) to empty values.
