<h1>Redland librdf Language Bindings</h1>
<h2><a href="http://www.dajobe.org/">Dave Beckett</a></h2>
  

<h2>Overview</h2>

<p><a href="http://librdf.org/">Redland librdf</a> is a
library that provides a high-level interface for
the Resource Description Framework (RDF) allowing the RDF
graph to be parsed from XML, stored, queried and manipulated.
Redland implements each of the RDF concepts in its own class via an
object based API, reflected into the language APIs, currently 
Perl, PHP, Python and Ruby.  Several classes providing functionality
such as for parsers, storage are built as modules that can be loaded
at compile or run-time as required.</p>

<p>The Redland librdf language bindings provides the higher level
language APIs to Redland in the following languages.</p>

<ul>
<li>Lua (experimental)</li>
<li><a href="docs/perl.html">Perl</a></li>
<li><a href="docs/php.html">PHP</a></li>
