A high-performance, embeddable graph database with a Rust core and no required C dependencies, supporting both **Labeled Property Graph (LPG)** and **RDF** data models. Optional allocators (jemalloc/mimalloc) and TLS use C libraries for performance.
## Features
- **Dual data model support**: LPG and RDF with optimized storage for each
- **Multi-language queries**: GQL, Cypher, Gremlin, GraphQL, SPARQL and SQL/PGQ
- Embeddable with zero external dependencies
- Multi-language bindings: Python (PyO3), Node.js (napi-rs), Go (CGO), C (FFI), C# (.NET P/Invoke), Dart (dart:ffi), WebAssembly (wasm-bindgen)
- In-memory and persistent storage modes
- MVCC transactions with snapshot isolation
## Query Language & Data Model Support
| GQL (ISO/IEC 39075) | ✅ | - | Default |
| Cypher (openCypher 9.0) | ✅ | - | Default |
| Gremlin (Apache TinkerPop) | ✅ | - | Default |
| GraphQL | ✅ | ✅ | Default |
| SPARQL (W3C 1.1) | - | ✅ | Default |
| SQL/PGQ (SQL:2023) | ✅ | - | Default |
Grafeo uses a modular translator architecture where query languages are parsed into ASTs, then translated to a unified logical plan that executes against the appropriate storage backend (LPG or RDF).
### Data Models
- **LPG (Labeled Property Graph)**: Nodes with labels and properties, edges with types and properties. Ideal for social networks, knowledge graphs and application data.
- **RDF (Resource Description Framework)**: Triple-based storage (subject-predicate-object) with SPO/POS/OSP indexes. Ideal for semantic web, linked data and ontology-based applications.
## Installation
```bash
cargo add grafeo
```
By default, the `embedded` profile is enabled: GQL, AI features (vector/text/hybrid search, CDC), graph algorithms and parallel execution. Customize with feature groups:
```bash
cargo add grafeo # Default (embedded profile)
cargo add grafeo --no-default-features --features full # All languages + AI + storage + RDF
cargo add grafeo --no-default-features --features languages # All languages, no AI
cargo add grafeo --no-default-features --features gql,ai # GQL + AI features
cargo add grafeo --no-default-features --features gql # Minimal: GQL only
cargo add grafeo --features embed # Add ONNX embeddings (opt-in)
```
## Quick Start
```rust
use grafeo::GrafeoDB;
fn main() -> Result<(), grafeo_common::utils::error::Error> {
let db = GrafeoDB::new_in_memory();
let mut session = db.session();
// Create nodes
session.execute("INSERT (:Person {name: 'Alix', age: 30})")?;
session.execute("INSERT (:Person {name: 'Gus', age: 25})")?;
// Query
let result = session.execute("MATCH (p:Person) RETURN p.name, p.age")?;
for row in result.rows {
println!("{:?}", row);
}
Ok(())
}
```
