Fundamentals
Description A property graph database that stores data as fixed-size records in linked lists for index-free adjacency traversal. Offers community and commercial editions with an extensive graph algorithms library.An embedded graph library for TypeScript applications that keeps property graph data in an existing SQLite or PostgreSQL database, compiling typed traversals to SQL rather than running a separate graph service. Node and edge schemas are declared with Zod and carry ontology relations such as subClassOf and inverseOf, alongside vector and keyword search through pgvector, sqlite-vec, and libSQL.
