I’ve always wondered why there isn’t a “SQLite for graphs,” so to speak. Is there something about how they have to be stored that precludes an in-process solution with disk-based storage?
- ryangs 2y agohttps://www.hillelwayne.com/post/graph-types/ https://www.hillelwayne.com/post/graph-types/ gives an interesting take on why we don't see a graph type as a primitive on more programming languages. Essentially boils down to graphs being very vague and depending on the topology of your graphs you are going to want different implementations for reasonable efficiency. That said, there are graph databases.
- nrjames 2y agoInteresting! Thanks for the link. I suppose the graph databases just take an opinionated approach. NetworkX is great; I always wished it had a simple backend.
