What is the best practice to import data into Neo4j?

[LJRB]

Hello. I have data in csv format and also json format. I have several questions.
I would like to create nodes and relationships (also properties) with these data.

Is there a faster method to load csv of json ? Is it with driver or with neo4j-admin import tool ?

If I use neo4j-admin import tool, how can I save the requests in order to make the import automatic ?

Simple answer for JSON is use the APOC library. https://neo4j.com/labs/apoc/4.1/import/load-json/

for CSV you have multiple options depending on data complexity and size

here's some general reference for importing data
