设置节点的各种属性：

$ curl -D - -H Content-Type:application/json -X PUT \

-d '{"name":"Charles Darwin","birthDate":"1809-02-12","deathDate":"1882-04-19","knownFor":["Voyage of the Beagle","On the Origin of Species evolution by natural selection"]}' \

仅查看节点属性：

$ curl -H Accept:application/json http://localhost:7474/db/data/node/2/properties

将创建节点和设置属性合到一步进行：

$ curl -D - -H Accept:application/json -H Content-Type:application/json -X POST -d '{"name":"Alfred Russel Wallace","birthDate":"1823-01-08","deathDate":"1913-11-07","knownFor":["natural selection","biogeography"]}' "http://localhost:7474/db/data/node"

"deathDate" : "1913-11-07"

},

"traverse" : "http://localhost:7474/db/data/node/3/traverse/{returnType}",

}

设置某一个属性：

$ curl D - -H Accept:application/json -H Content-Type:application/json -X PUT \
