atomic-server

Atomic Server is an open-source, lightweight database and graph server with built-in authorization, versioning, and more. It aims to make data more interoperable and easier to work with by using Atomic Data, a modular specification for sharing, modifying and modeling typed data.

Pros

• Built-in versioning, authorization, and validation
• Supports multiple data formats (JSON, JSON-LD, RDF, Atomic Data)
• Easy to set up and use with a single binary
• Provides a user-friendly web interface for data management

Cons

• Relatively new project, which may lack extensive community support
• Limited ecosystem compared to more established database solutions
• Learning curve for developers unfamiliar with Atomic Data concepts
• May not be suitable for large-scale enterprise applications yet

Code Examples

Here are a few examples of using the Atomic Server API with Rust:

1. Creating a new Resource:

use atomic_lib::Storelike;
use atomic_lib::agents::Agent;

let store = atomic_lib::Store::init().unwrap();
let agent = Agent::new_private();

let resource = store.create_resource(None, &agent).unwrap();
store.set_string(
    &resource,
    "https://atomicdata.dev/properties/shortname",
    "my-resource",
    &agent,
).unwrap();

2. Querying Resources:

use atomic_lib::Storelike;

let store = atomic_lib::Store::init().unwrap();
let results = store.query(
    Some("https://atomicdata.dev/classes/Agent"),
    None,
    None,
    None,
).unwrap();

for resource in results {
    println!("Found agent: {}", resource.get_subject());
}

3. Updating a Resource:

use atomic_lib::Storelike;
use atomic_lib::agents::Agent;

let store = atomic_lib::Store::init().unwrap();
let agent = Agent::new_private();

store.set_string(
    "https://example.com/resource",
    "https://atomicdata.dev/properties/description",
    "Updated description",
    &agent,
).unwrap();

Getting Started

To get started with Atomic Server, follow these steps:

1. Install Atomic Server:

   cargo install atomic-server
   

2. Run the server:

   atomic-server
   

3. Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:9883 to access the web interface.

4. Use the API endpoints or the Rust client library to interact with the server programmatically.
