README.md

Cayley is an open-source graph inspired by the graph database behind [Freebase](http://freebase.com) and Google's [Knowledge Graph](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge_Graph).

Its goal is to be a part of the developer's toolbox where Linked Data and graph-shaped data (semantic webs, social networks, etc) in general are concerned.

Features

• Community driven
• Written in Go
  • can be used as a Go library
• Easy to get running (3 or 4 commands, below)
• RESTful API
  • or a REPL if you prefer
• Built-in query editor and visualizer
• Multiple query languages:
  • JavaScript, with a Gremlin-inspired* graph object.
  • (simplified) MQL, for Freebase fans
• Plays well with multiple backend stores:
  • LevelDB
  • Bolt
  • PostgreSQL
  • MongoDB for distributed stores
  • In-memory, ephemeral
• Modular design; easy to extend with new languages and backends
• Good test coverage
• Speed, where possible.

Rough performance testing shows that, on 2014 consumer hardware and an average disk, 134m quads in LevelDB is no problem and a multi-hop intersection query -- films starring X and Y -- takes ~150ms.
