Description

JavaScript Query Language Database, stores JavaScript objects and primitives

A distributed, linear scalable, high perfomant Graph DBMS

Embeddable persistent key-value store optimized for fast storage (flash and RAM)

DBMS for structured and unstructured content wrapped with an application server

TypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language

Primary database model

Document store
Object oriented DBMS

Graph DBMS

Key-value store

Native XML DBMS
Search engine

Graph DBMS
Relational DBMS

Often described as a 'hyper-relational' database, since it implements the 'Entity-Relationship Paradigm' to manage complex data structures and ontologies.
