Neo4j node property containing raw json as metadata

Question

Is this possible to have a node property as json raw string and to filter on it with cypher ? I have a node with some defined properties and metadata (json raw string). I would like to select or filter on those metadata property. This is something like this :

START movie=node:TYPE_INDEX(Type = 'MOVIE') // Start with the reference
MATCH movie-[t:TAG]->tag 
WHERE collect(movie.Metadata).RatingPress > 3
RETURN distinct movie.Label

And metadata are something like this :

{"RatingPress" : "0","RatingSpectator" : 3"}

I have expected to use collect function in order to call the property like this :

collect(movie.Metadata).RatingPress

But, of course it fails...

Is this a way to bind some json string from a node property with cypher ?

Thanks for your help

Answer 1

That's going against the principles of properties. Why not set the properties in the JSON metadata directly on the node?

But to answer your question:

No, cypher has no knowledge about JSON.
