Why KnitKnot?
Most graph databases are heavy and complex. KnitKnot is different:
- CLI-first: Query interactively like SQLite
- Fluent DSL: Write expressive queries:
Find('User').Has('skill', 'Go') - Embeddable: Use as a Go library or standalone tool
- File-based: No server needed — data saved to
.gob
