Description

Browser interprets NULL as a string when setting parameters, but Cypher handles NULL as null

Reproduce Steps

Run 

:params {
  foo: NULL
}

foo is now set to the string "NULL"

Expected Behavior

NULL and null are equivalent

Your Environment

Neo4j Browser version: 5.9.0

Hi! We do support properly inferred parameter values when the => syntax is used. You can set get a null parameter like so :param foo => null. We're aware it's confusing that the different syntaxes work differently under the hood and have fixed it in Neo4j Workspace, but it's not made its way back to Neo4j Browser yet
