GraphQL RDF Bridge in TerminusDB Using Rust's Juniper Library
- ggleason 4y agoJuniper helped us implement a GraphQL / RDF bridge in about two weeks.
- kmerroll 4y agoReally nice article, but can't help but think those who don't know SPARQL are doomed to recreate it.
- dsabanin 4y agoOne big advantage of GraphQL is mature tooling, like type definition generation, etc.
- ggleason 4y agoWell, I do know SPARQL :D TerminusDB uses a datalog under the hood, but GraphQL can expose a lot of datalog like power with the right interface. Ultimately we want to have named parameteric queries in datalog exposing "pseudo-edges" in GraphQL which can be treated just like a normal field but are actually calculated.
- j-pb 4y agoSPARQL has some really not nice properties. For example it's very easy to build non-monotonic queries with OPTIONAL, which really messes with reactively streamed query results. There is a certain sweet spot in conjunctive queries + regular path expressions, with a nice syntax.
