OxiRS Fuseki
SPARQL 1.1/1.2 HTTP server with Apache Fuseki compatibility
Status: Production Release (v0.1.0) - Released January 7, 2026
✨ Production Release: Production-ready with API stability guarantees. Semantic versioning enforced.
Overview
oxirs-fuseki is a high-performance SPARQL HTTP server that provides complete compatibility with Apache Jena Fuseki while leveraging Rust's performance and safety. It implements the SPARQL 1.1 Protocol for RDF over HTTP and extends it with SPARQL 1.2 features.
Features
- SPARQL Protocol Compliance: Full SPARQL 1.1 Protocol implementation
- SPARQL 1.2 Support: Extended features and optimizations
- Fuseki Compatibility: Drop-in replacement for Apache Fuseki
- Multi-Dataset Support: Host multiple datasets on different endpoints
- Authentication & Authorization: Flexible security framework
- GraphQL Integration: Dual protocol support (SPARQL + GraphQL)
- Real-time Features: WebSocket subscriptions and live queries
- High Performance: Async I/O with Tokio and optimized query execution
- Monitoring: Built-in metrics, logging, and health checks
- Configuration: YAML/TOML configuration with hot-reload

Troubleshooting
Common Issues
Q: High memory usage with large datasets A: Enable streaming mode and adjust cache sizes:
query_execution:
streaming_threshold: 10000 # Stream results > 10k rows
max_memory_per_query: "100MB"
Q: Slow query performance A: Enable query optimization and check index usage:
optimization:
query_planner: "advanced"
statistics_collection: true
index_recommendations: true
Q: Connection timeouts A: Adjust timeout settings and connection limits:
server:
connection_timeout: 30s
keep_alive_timeout: 60s
max_connections: 1000
