Asami is both similar to and different from other graph databases. Some of the goals of the project are:

Schema-less data. Data can be loaded without prior knowledge of its structures.
Stable. Storage uses immutable structures to ensure that writes cannot lead to data corruption.
Multiplatform. Asami runs on the Java Virtual Machine and on JavaScript platforms (browsers, node.js, etc).
Ease of setup. Asami managed storage requires no provisioning, and can be created in a single statement.
Pluggable. Storage is a pluggable system that allows for multiple storage types, both local and remote.
Analytics. Graph analytics are provided by using internal mechanisms for efficiency.

Asami is a schemaless database, meaning that data may be inserted with no predefined schema. This flexibility has advantages and disadvantages. It is easier to load and evolve data over time without a schema. However, functionality like upsert and basic integrity checking is not available in the same way as with a graph with a predefined schema. Optional schemas are on the roadmap to help with this.

Asami also follows an Open World Assumption model, in the same way that RDF does. In practice, this has very little effect on the database, beyond what being schemaless provides.

If you are new to graph databases, then please read our Introduction page.

Asami has a query API that looks very similar to a simplified Datomic. More details are available in the Query documentation.
