## Query with Comunica
Read one of our [guides to **get started** with querying](https://comunica.dev/docs/query/getting_started/):
* [Querying from the command line](https://comunica.dev/docs/query/getting_started/query_cli/)

Or jump right into one of the available query engines:
* [Comunica SPARQL](https://github.com/comunica/comunica/tree/master/engines/query-sparql#readme): SPARQL/GraphQL querying from JavaScript applications or the CLI ([Browser-ready via a CDN](https://github.com/rdfjs/comunica-browser))
- Engines with support for specific types of sources
* [Comunica SPARQL File](https://github.com/comunica/comunica/tree/master/engines/query-sparql-file#readme): Engine to query over local RDF files
* [Comunica SPARQL RDF/JS](https://github.com/comunica/comunica/tree/master/engines/query-sparql-rdfjs#readme): Engine to query over in-memory [RDF/JS-compliant sources](https://rdf.js.org/stream-spec/#source-interface).
* [Comunica SPARQL RDF/JS Lite](https://github.com/comunica/comunica/tree/master/engines/query-sparql-rdfjs-lite#readme): Engine optimized for small bundle size to query over in-memory [RDF/JS-compliant sources](https://rdf.js.org/stream-spec/#source-interface).
* [Comunica SPARQL HDT](https://github.com/comunica/comunica-feature-hdt/tree/master/engines/query-sparql-hdt#readme): Library to query over local [HDT](https://www.rdfhdt.org/) files
* [Comunica SPARQL OSTRICH](https://github.com/comunica/comunica-feature-versioning/tree/master/engines/query-sparql-ostrich#readme): Library to query over local versioned [OSTRICH](https://github.com/rdfostrich/ostrich) archives
- Engines with alternative querying paradigms:
* [Comunica SPARQL Link Traversal](https://github.com/comunica/comunica-feature-link-traversal/tree/master/engines/query-sparql-link-traversal#readme): Engine to query over multiple files by following links between them.
* [Comunica SPARQL Solid](https://github.com/comunica/comunica-feature-solid/tree/master/engines/query-sparql-solid#readme): Engine to query over files behind [Solid access control](https://solidproject.org/).
* [Comunica SPARQL Link Traversal Solid](https://github.com/comunica/comunica-feature-link-traversal/tree/master/engines/query-sparql-link-traversal-solid#readme): Engine to query within [Solid data vaults](https://solidproject.org/) by following links between documents.
* [Comunica SPARQL Reasoning](https://github.com/comunica/comunica-feature-reasoning/tree/master/engines/query-sparql-reasoning): Engine that adds support for reasoning
* [Comunica SPARQL Reasoning File](https://github.com/comunica/comunica-feature-reasoning/tree/master/engines/query-sparql-file-reasoning): Engine to query over local RDF files with support for reasoning

## Development Setup
_(JSDoc: https://comunica.github.io/comunica/)_
This repository should be used by Comunica module **developers** as it contains multiple Comunica modules that can be composed.
This repository is managed as a [monorepo](https://github.com/babel/babel/blob/master/doc/design/monorepo.md)
using [Lerna](https://lernajs.io/).
If you want to develop new features
or use the (potentially unstable) in-development version,
you can set up a development environment for Comunica.
Comunica requires [Node.JS](http://nodejs.org/) and the [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/en/) package manager (only when using this repo).
Comunica is tested on OSX, Linux and Windows.
This project can be setup by cloning and installing it as follows:
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/comunica/comunica.git
$ cd comunica
$ yarn install
```
**Note: `npm install` is not supported at the moment, as this project makes use of Yarn's [workspaces](https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/workspaces/) functionality**
This will install the dependencies of all modules, and bootstrap the Lerna monorepo.
After that, all [Comunica packages](https://github.com/comunica/comunica/tree/master/packages) are available in the `packages/` folder,
and the [Comunica engines](https://github.com/comunica/comunica/tree/master/engines) are available in the `engines/` folder.
These can be used in a development environment, such as querying with [Comunica SPARQL (`@comunica/query-sparql`)](https://github.com/comunica/comunica/tree/master/engines/query-sparql).
Furthermore, this will add pre-commit hooks using [husky](https://www.npmjs.com/package/husky) to build, lint and test.
These hooks can temporarily be disabled at your own risk by adding the `-n` flag to the commit command.
## Benchmarking
If you want to do benchmarking with Comunica in Node.js,
make sure to run Node.js in production mode as follows:
```bash
> NODE_ENV=production node packages/some-package/bin/some-bin.js
```
Read more about benchmarking [on our website](https://comunica.dev/docs/modify/benchmarking/).
