In their own words
Sparksee
Sparksee is an embeddable graph database for applications that need to represent and analyse relationships among entities. It works against a database file from within an application process, so there is no cluster or query server to provision. The maker describes its compact bitmap-based representation as suited to graph computations in mobile and embedded environments. Built-in algorithms cover traversal, shortest paths, connectivity, community detection, and PageRank. Its API supports importing and exporting graph data, scripting, and Sparksee Cypher queries; Sparksee Algebra is also listed. API references cover.NET, Java, C++, Objective-C, Python, and openCypher. Sparksee supports ACID transactions, disk-level encryption, and recovery after database corruption. Keeping data on a user's device can support privacy-preserving apps and reduce reliance on cloud connectivity. Platforms include Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows, with API and self-hosted options. Eligible academic users can apply for a free licence; commercial licence pricing is on request.
