Pyoxigraph is a graph database library implementing the [SPARQL](https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-overview/) standard.
It is a Python library written on top of [Oxigraph](https://github.com/oxigraph/oxigraph).
 
Pyoxigraph offers two stores with [SPARQL 1.1](https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-overview/) capabilities.
One of the store is in-memory, and the other one is disk based.

It also provides a set of utility functions for reading, writing and processing RDF files in
[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/).

Pyoxigraph is distributed [on Pypi](https://pypi.org/project/pyoxigraph/).
Run `pip install pyoxigraph` to install it.

There exists also a small library providing [rdflib](https://rdflib.readthedocs.io) stores using pyoxigraph: [oxrdflib](https://github.com/oxigraph/oxrdflib).

Pyoxigraph documentation is [available on the Oxigraph website](https://oxigraph.org/pyoxigraph/).

## Build the development version

To build and install the development version of pyoxigraph you need to clone this git repository
and to run `pip install .` in the `python` directory (the one this README is in).


## How to contribute

Pyoxigraph is written in Rust using [PyO3](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3).

Pyoxigraph is built using [Maturin](https://github.com/PyO3/maturin).
Maturin could be installed using the `pip install maturin`.
To install a development version of Oxigraph just run `maturin develop` in this README directory.

The Python bindings tests are written in Python.
To run them use `python -m unittest` in the `tests` directory.
