Protocols Redis RESP

Auto-manages an embedded Redis server with the FalkorDB module (RESP protocol, reachable on a local port); found no evidence of Bolt support specific to falkordblite, unlike the draft.

  • It provides a built-in Redis server with FalkorDB module that is automatically installed, configured and managed when the bindings are used.

License SSPL-1.0

Confirms current value for the graph engine itself: falkordblite's own wrapper code (a redislite fork) is BSD-3-Clause per its LICENSE.txt/README, but it downloads and bundles the FalkorDB module, which is licensed under the Server Side Public License (SSPL-1.0); that is what actually implements the graph database.

  • Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Language Python

Confirms current value for the distributed package itself: the falkordblite repo's own authored code is nearly all Python (per GitHub's language breakdown), since it is a Python embedding harness. The actual graph query engine it bundles (FalkorDB) is written in C.

  • FalkorDBLite is a self-contained Python interface to the FalkorDB graph database.
