This lab code is superseded by the json join kernel
Lab code from 2012 exploring graph convolution over BSON data stored in SQLite, aimed at machine-to-machine query routing and ontology navigation. The README itself calls it superseded. This is a historical artifact, not a usable library.
- The core idea — treating a query as a BSON graph and convolving it against a data graph — is an interesting predecessor to modern graph query approaches
- Uses SQLite as the backing store, which keeps the dependency footprint minimal for embedded use cases
- Has a socket layer (socketx/) suggesting it was intended as a networked query service, not just a local library
- Abandoned in 2012, the author's own description says it is superseded — there is no reason to adopt this over anything written in the last decade
- The README has visible typos and incomplete sentences, which is a reliable signal that documentation was never a priority and the API surface is undiscoverable
- 1 star, 0 forks, no build instructions, no tests visible in the tree — you would be reverse-engineering someone's throwaway experiment
- BSON as the data format with a custom 'qson' parser layer adds complexity with no obvious payoff compared to just using SQLite's native JSON functions, which didn't exist yet in 2012 but do now
