Oxigraph is a graph database implementing the [SPARQL](https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-overview/) standard.

Its goal is to provide a compliant, safe, and fast graph database based on the [RocksDB](https://rocksdb.org/) key-value store.
It is written in Rust.
It also provides a set of utility functions for reading, writing, and processing RDF files.

Oxigraph is in heavy development and SPARQL query evaluation has not been optimized yet.
The development roadmap is using [GitHub milestones](https://github.com/oxigraph/oxigraph/milestones?direction=desc&sort=completeness&state=open).
Oxigraph internal design [is described on the wiki](https://github.com/oxigraph/oxigraph/wiki/Architecture).

Oxigraph implements the following specifications:

- [SPARQL 1.1 Query](https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-query/), [SPARQL 1.1 Update](https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-update/), and [SPARQL 1.1 Federated Query](https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-federated-query/).
- [Turtle](https://www.w3.org/TR/turtle/), [TriG](https://www.w3.org/TR/trig/), [N-Triples](https://www.w3.org/TR/n-triples/), [N-Quads](https://www.w3.org/TR/n-quads/), and [RDF/XML](https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-syntax-grammar/) RDF serialization formats for both data ingestion and retrieval.
- [SPARQL Query Results XML Format](https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-sparql-XMLres/), [SPARQL 1.1 Query Results JSON Format](https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-results-json/) and [SPARQL 1.1 Query Results CSV and TSV Formats](https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-results-csv-tsv/).

It is split into multiple parts:

- [The database written as a Rust library](https://crates.io/crates/oxigraph). Its source code is in the `lib` directory.

  [![Released API docs](https://docs.rs/oxigraph/badge.svg)](https://docs.rs/oxigraph)
- [`pyoxigraph` that exposes Oxigraph to the Python world](https://pyoxigraph.readthedocs.io/). Its source code is in the `python` directory. [![PyPI](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/pyoxigraph)](https://pypi.org/project/pyoxigraph/)
- [JavaScript bindings for Oxigraph](https://www.npmjs.com/package/oxigraph). WebAssembly is used to package Oxigraph into a NodeJS compatible NPM package. Its source code is in the `js` directory.
  [![npm](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/oxigraph)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/oxigraph)
- [Oxigraph binary](https://crates.io/crates/oxigraph-cli) that provides a standalone command-line tool allowing to manipulate RDF data and spawn a a web server implementing the [SPARQL 1.1 Protocol](https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-protocol/) and the [SPARQL 1.1 Graph Store Protocol](https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-http-rdf-update/). Its source code is in the `cli` directory.
  Note that it was previously named [Oxigraph server](https://crates.io/crates/oxigraph-server).

Also, some parts of Oxigraph are available as standalone Rust crates:
* [`oxrdf`](https://crates.io/crates/oxrdf), datastructures encoding RDF basic concepts (the [`oxigraph::model`](crate::model) module).
* [`oxrdfio`](https://crates.io/crates/oxrdfio), a unified parser and serializer API for RDF formats (the [`oxigraph::io`](crate::io) module). It itself relies on:
  * [`oxttl`](https://crates.io/crates/oxttl), N-Triple, N-Quad, Turtle, TriG and N3 parsing and serialization.
  * [`oxrdfxml`](https://crates.io/crates/oxrdfxml), RDF/XML parsing and serialization.
* [`spargebra`](https://crates.io/crates/spargebra), a SPARQL parser.
* [`sparesults`](https://crates.io/crates/sparesults), parsers and serializers for SPARQL result formats.
* [`sparopt`](https://crates.io/crates/sparesults), a SPARQL optimizer.
* [`oxsdatatypes`](https://crates.io/crates/oxsdatatypes), an implementation of some XML Schema datatypes.

The library layers in Oxigraph. The elements above depend on the elements below:

A preliminary benchmark [is provided](bench/README.md). There is also [a document describing Oxigraph technical architecture](https://github.com/oxigraph/oxigraph/wiki/Architecture).

When cloning this codebase, don't forget to clone the submodules using
`git clone --recursive https://github.com/oxigraph/oxigraph.git` to clone the repository including submodules or
`git submodule update --init` to add the submodules to the already cloned repository.
