About:
Sord is a lightweight C library designed for storing and querying RDF (Resource Description Framework) data efficiently in memory. It provides a simple API for parsing, serializing, and managing RDF triples, supporting standard formats like Turtle, N-Triples, and RDF/XML. Its primary value is offering a minimal footprint and high performance for embedded systems or applications requiring fast RDF processing without heavy dependencies.

Key Features:

Lightweight and dependency-free C implementation
Supports Turtle, N-Triples, and RDF/XML parsing/serialization
Efficient in-memory triple store with query capabilities
Portable across platforms with no external libraries required

Use Cases:

Embedding RDF data processing in IoT or embedded devices
Building semantic web applications with fast local storage
Parsing and serializing RDF for scientific data management

Alternatives:

Redland – Sord is lighter and more focused on in-memory use, while Redland offers broader backend storage options but with higher overhead.
