Save a Javascript object into a NoSQL database and retrieve it afterwards

Question

I have an Javascript object that I want to save in a NoSQL database (Neo4j).

Is there a way to save this object in the database to retrieve it later on and have it acting like it was never sent to and retrieve from database, that means having all the members (properties and methods) that were defined?

If so, how would you do that?

@jared. But JSON isn't really a real object. Also you can't save methods with JSON. — ajsie

I don't know what you mean by "real object", if you can explain that, it would be helpful. Also, your original question did not mention methods. Is there some reason you can't use client-side code to load an object described in JSON into a first-class object with methods? — Jared Farrish

Saving things in a neo4j database which are not directly related to the essence of the graph is in general a bad idea, mainly because the database is likely to grow too large. Save the JSON objects somewhere else like a document-oriented NoSQL DB and point to them with a property on a neo4j node or relationship. — user663031

I'd recommend writing a server side API for handling your basic CRUD operations on Neo4j. You shouldn't publicly expose your Neo4j REST API as it can lead to security vulnerabilities down the line. If someone knows you're running Neo4j, they can target your database directly if you expose Neo4j's native REST API. If you have a layer of abstraction between your database and the public, it will generally be safer.
