Description

Full-featured RDBMS with a small footprint, either embedded into a Java application or used as a database server.

MySQL fork with a pluggable micro-kernel and with an emphasis of performance over compatibility.

RDF4J is a Java framework for processing RDF data, supporting both memory-based and a disk-based storage.

An embeddable, non-blocking, type-safe key-value store for single or multiple disks and in-memory storage

A typo-tolerant, in-memory search engine optimized for instant search-as-you-type experiences and developer productivity
