20.5. Streaming

All responses from the REST API can be transmitted as JSON streams, resulting in better performance and lower memory overhead on the server side. To use streaming, supply the header X-Stream: true with each request.

Example request

  • GET http://localhost:7474/db/data/
  • Accept: application/json
  • X-Stream: true

Example response

  • 200: OK
  • Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8; stream=true
