GraphQLite

A loadable SQLite extension that adds property-graph storage and openCypher querying to any SQLite database, keeping graph and relational data together in a single zero-config file. It ships with 15+ built-in graph algorithms—PageRank, Louvain, Dijkstra, centralities—plus Python and Rust bindings, and inherits SQLite's embedded, serverless ACID operation.
