Fluree vs. GraphBase vs. JavaScript vs. OCaml Comparison Chart

GraphBase is a Graph Database Management System (Graph DBMS) engineered to simplify the creation and maintenance of complex data graphs. Complex and highly-connected structures are a challenge for the Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). A graph database provides much better modelling utility, performance and scalability. The current crop of graph database products - the triplestores and property graphs - have been around for nearly two decades. They're powerful tools, they have many uses, but they're still not suited to the management of complex data structures. With GraphBase, our goal was to simplify the management of complex data structures, so that your data could become something more. It could become Knowledge. We achieved this by redefining how graph data should be managed. In GraphBase, the graph is a first-class citizen. You get a graph equivalent of the "rows and tables" paradigm that makes a Relational Database so easy to use.

OCaml is a general-purpose, industrial-strength programming language with an emphasis on expressiveness and safety. OCaml’s powerful type system means more bugs are caught at compile time, and large, complex codebases are easier to maintain. This makes it a good language for running critical code. At the same time, sophisticated inference makes the type system unobtrusive, creating a smooth developer experience. One is a bytecode compiler which generates small, portable executables and is very fast. The other is a native code compiler that produces more efficient machine code; its performance matches the highest standards of modern compilers. OCaml has great support for the most popular editors. VS Code is recommended for beginners, and for power users there is deep integration with Vim and Emacs. OCaml has a rich and dynamic community and best-in-class tooling.
