I have a modest amount of experience using spring-data-neo4j to facilitate object-to-graph mapping and provide infrastructures for Java-based web-applications built on neo4j. By and large I've been happy with SDN - it can certainly do a lot, but I have encountered some use-cases where it feels like too much - where most of what it can do is not required, and where it adds unnecessary complexity to providing the relatively simple functionalities that are required.

I've just come across structr (github) and am intrigued by it, specifically when it comes to these sorts of use-cases. The documentation is pretty good, but I'm finding very few discussions about it in the community. (there wasn't even an SO tag until now!) So I'm posting this question to ask:

Have you ever used structr? If so:

  • What did you do with it? How did it go?
  • What would you consider an ideal use case for it? Where might it not be the best tool?
  • Are there any big pitfalls or gotchas you would point out to someone who is just beginning to think about using it?

    I haven't used it but want to thank you for pointing me to it. There are some people where I work who will be very interested in this. – mttdbrd Apr 24 '14 at 22:35

    (Disclaimer: I'm the founder of Structr) Maybe the wording of the question is difficult. Structr is an application with CMS character, targeting end-users, while SDN is a developer framework. – Axel Morgner May 08 '14 at 22:17
