Milestone number 2 of the upcoming 4.0.0 release of RDF4J is now available for download.

RDF4J 4.0.0 is a major release of the RDF4J framework, focusing on improved performance and improved maintainability. We’ve done a massive clean up of the project structure, which is intended to make it easier to deliver new features in this and future releases.

  • the LMDB Store, a new persistent embedded RDF Store based on the Lightning Memory-Mapped Database (LMDB) - see the documentation for details
  • massive improvements in (concurrent) performance of various aspects of the framework, including the memory store, the SPARQL and SHACL engine, and more
  • more cleanups of deprecated code
