Is there a way to use AllegroGraph with a Lisp other than ACL? -

i'm far reading documentation, , says in order use lisp client have use acl. acl, express edition has 30 day expiration date. since i'm far considering commercial use, i'm not buy in observable future.

did try other lisp? @ permitted license? (my guess "yes", because, example, python client doesn't require special purchases of course.)

sure, actually. allegrograph supports superset of sesame 2.0 http protocol graph stores. key documentation should have @ is:

http://www.franz.com/agraph/support/documentation/current/http-protocol.html

as example, request list of repositories in root catalog, http interaction follows:

 /repositories http/1.1    accept: application/json     http/1.1 200 ok    content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8     [{"uri": "<http://localhost:10035/repositories/test>",      "id": "\"test\"",      "title": "\"test\"",      "readable": true      "writeable": true}]  

note accept: header which, in case, specifies json format of desired response. there other formats available, ntriples example, hut refer documentation current list , proper mime type use each.

one thing aware of, since getting information has no semantic definition on remote lisp instance, want define these in order build useful library. so, among others, want define data structures (say, classes example) representing nodes, liberals, triples, , on. not easiest thing know how model if you've never thought such thing before, straightforward , not involved in practice. i'd recommend perhaps starting out using library such ora lasilla's wilbur, have used many tines , find delight read through. in fact, original allegrograph, years ago, started out using wilbur basis,miso find although there many differences there still reasonable compatibility of ideas between 2 projects. can fetch current sources wilbur from:

i hope can @ least point in right direction started. luck!
