Redland is a library that provides a high-level interface for RDF
allowing the RDF graph to be parsed from XML, stored, queried and
manipulated. Redland implements each of the RDF concepts in its own
class via an object based API, reflected into the other language APIs
- Java, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby and Tcl. Some of the classes providing
the parsers, storage mechanisms and other elements are built as
modules that can be added or removed as required.
Redland provides:
* A modular, object based library written in C
* Java, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby and Tcl interfaces for manipulating
the RDF graph and parts - Statements, Resources and Literals
* Parsers and Serializers for reading and writing RDF as syntax.
* Storage for graphs in memory and on disk via Sleepcat / Berkeley
DB.
* Query APIs for the graph by Statement (triples) or by Nodes and
Arcs
* Statement Streams for construction, parsing, de/serialisation of
graphs
* Start of query language support.
* No memory leaks so far.
