Hi all,

Is there a way of Neo4J automatically detecting the nodes and relationships directly from a JSON file and building a graph directly from them?

I've tried using `CALL apoc.load.json` but this just loads the data into a table, and doesn't find the nodes/relationships defined in the JSON.

I'm trying to load a 70+Mb JSON with lots of nodes and relationships defined within so don't really want to have to manually define them all!

Thanks in advance for your help!
