Neo4j expected Collection<T> but was Map when creating multiple nodes - neo4j

Question

I am trying to create multiple nodes in Neo4j using Cypher by passing properties as parameters as part of an UNWIND function, but I keep receiving the error Type mismatch: expected Collection<T> but was Map.
This happens even when using the following example from the Neo4j documentation (link):
UNWIND {
props : [ {
name : "Andres",
position : "Developer"
}, {
name : "Michael",
position : "Developer"
} ]
} AS map
CREATE (n)
SET n = map
Can anyone point out what I am doing wrong here?
Note, the example above is not exactly as in the Neo4j documentation. Their example wraps the property names in double quotes, but this causes my instance of Neo4j to throw the errorInvalid input '"': expected whitespace...)

Answer 1

UNWIND is expecting a collection, not a map as you're currently passing in, try this instead (just remove the wrapping curly braces and prop top level field):
UNWIND [ {
name : "Andres",
position : "Developer"
}, {
name : "Michael",
position : "Developer"
} ] AS map
CREATE (n)
SET n = map

Answer 2

Chris's answer is of course the correct one, but here's why your solution doesn't work when you're following the documentation: you're not copying the documentation.
The documentation shows the use of a named parameter:
UNWIND { props } AS map
CREATE (n)
SET n = map
with props passed in the map of parameters, which would look like:
{
"props" : [ {
"name" : "Andres",
"position" : "Developer"
}, {
"name" : "Michael",
"position" : "Developer"
} ]
}
if you displayed the map as JSON. It means the {props} placeholder will be replaced by the value for the props key. Which is exactly what Chris did.
Here's what the Java code would look like:
GraphDatabaseService db = /* init */;
Map<String, Object> andres = new HashMap<>();
andres.put("name", "Andres");
andres.put("position", "Developer");
Map<String, Object> michael = new HashMap<>();
michael.put("name", "Michael");
michael.put("position", "Developer");
Map<String, Object> params = new HashMap<>();
params.put("props", Arrays.asList(andres, michael));
try (Transaction tx = db.beginTx()) {
db.execute("UNWIND {props} AS map CREATE (n) SET n = map", params);
tx.success();
}
