About:
Redland is a high-performance C library designed for parsing, storing, and querying RDF (Resource Description Framework) data. It provides a flexible and modular architecture supporting multiple storage backends and query languages. Its primary value is enabling developers to easily integrate semantic web capabilities into their applications.

Key Features:

Supports multiple RDF serialization formats (RDF/XML, N-Triples, Turtle)
Modular storage backend (memory, hashes, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite)
Provides query languages including SPARQL and RDQL
Language bindings for Perl, Python, PHP, Ruby, and Java

Use Cases:

Building semantic web applications and linked data services
Parsing and processing metadata from various data sources
Implementing knowledge graphs and data integration pipelines

Alternatives:

RDF4J – Java-based framework with a broader ecosystem but heavier resource footprint.
Apache Jena – Java framework offering similar RDF capabilities, often preferred in Java environments.
