About:
Redstore is a lightweight HTTP server for serving RDF data via the SPARQL protocol. It utilizes the Redland RDF library as its core engine to parse, store, and query semantic data.

Supports multiple RDF storage backends (SQLite, MySQL, etc.)
Lightweight HTTP server built on libmicrohttpd
RESTful API for graph management

Use Cases:

Prototyping semantic web applications
Hosting small-scale RDF datasets for development
Running local SPARQL queries against RDF files
