kglite-cli vs kglite-c vs kglite-bolt-server
Side-by-side comparison of Rust crates
Interactive Cypher shell for kglite knowledge graphs — the sqlite3-style REPL: `kglite app.kgl` opens a prompt that runs Cypher and dot-commands (.labels, .schema, .dump, .read, .mode) against a single .kgl file. Pure-Rust single binary, no libpython.
C ABI for kglite — stable extern "C" surface over the kglite engine so non-Rust bindings (Go via cgo, JavaScript via napi, JVM via JNI, .NET via P/Invoke, …) consume a single C header rather than re-implementing wrappers in their host language. The Rust types (DirGraph, Session, CypherResult, KgErrorCode) live in the sibling `kglite` crate; this crate is glue.
Pure-Rust Bolt v5.x protocol server for kglite knowledge graphs, with a regression-tested Neo4j Python driver path.
