| Description | A polymorphic database that natively models inheritance hierarchies, dependencies, and conceptual schemas using its TypeQL query language. Supports clustering for scalability and a cloud-agnostic deployment model. | 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. |
