kglite-cli 0.11.16

The kglite interactive Cypher shell — a sqlite3-style REPL for .kgl knowledge graphs (provides the `kglite` command).

kglite-cli

The interactive Cypher shell for kglite knowledge graphs — the sqlite3-style REPL for .kgl files.

Install

$ pip install kglite-cli      # ships the `kglite` binary on PATH
# or
$ cargo install kglite-cli    # build from source (needs a Rust toolchain)

kglite-cli is a standalone binary distribution — installing it gives you the kglite command. It's independent of the kglite Python library; install either or both.

Use

$ kglite app.kgl
kglite shell — app.kgl
Type .help for commands, .quit to exit.
kglite> MATCH (n:Person) RETURN n.name AS name LIMIT 3;
name
----
Alice
Bob
Carol
(3 rows)
kglite> .quit

Run with no path for a scratch in-memory graph ($ kglite). Pure-Rust single binary over kglite::api::* — no Python, no server.

A Cypher statement runs when terminated by ;, so it can span multiple lines; dot-commands run on Enter. Tab completes dot-commands and the graph's labels.

Commands

• .help — list commands
• .quit / .exit — leave the shell
• .labels / .rels / .schema / .indexes — schema introspection
• .mode table|csv|json — set the output format
• .import <file.csv> <NodeType> [--id <col>] [--title <col>] — load a CSV as nodes
• .dump <dir> — export a portable CSV + blueprint.json copy (reload with kglite.from_blueprint(...))
• .read <file> — run the Cypher statements in a file
• .save [path] — write the graph to a .kgl file
• .timing on|off — show query wall-time after each statement

Anything else is executed as Cypher. Ctrl-C cancels a running query; Ctrl-D exits.
