Answer 1

You can use jq to manipulate your data into CSV format and then use the LOAD CSV command.

Answer 2

Neo4J doesn't have a native way of doing this, but there is a plugin for Neo4J called apoc.load.json. You can load data doing the following:

CALL apoc.load.json("file:///<path_to_file>/example.json") YIELD value as document
UNWIND document.root AS root
MERGE (e:ExampleNode {id: root.id})
...

You can find more information on the plug here: https://neo4j-contrib.github.io/neo4j-apoc-procedures/. I've recently used this and found it to be quite intuitive.
