Package org.eclipse.rdf4j.repository.sparql Description

A Repository that serves as a SPARQL endpoint client.

A SPARQL endpoint is any web service that implements the SPARQL 1.1 Protocol - a means of conveying SPARQL queries and updates to SPARQL processors.

Since every rdf4j repository running on a Rdf4j Server is also a SPARQL endpoint, it is possible to use the SPARQLRepository to access such a repository. However, it is recommended to instead use HTTPRepository, which has a number of rdf4j-specific optimizations that make client-server communication more scalable, and transaction-safe.
