oxilite

An Oxigraph-compatible RDF database and SPARQL engine that stores quads in plain SQLite, running in-process via rusqlite, against a system libsqlite3, or on Cloudflare D1. Compiles each SPARQL query into a single SQL statement and mirrors Oxigraph's Rust API, with RDFS/OWL reasoning, SHACL validation, and openCypher queries over the same data.

Lineage borrows code from Oxigraph

Reuses Oxigraph's crates for the data model, parsers and SPARQL algebra; storage and query execution are its own.

Data model, all RDF parsers and serializers, the SPARQL parser and algebra, result formats, XSD datatypes, and a fallback evaluator
