# Trustfall — Engine for Querying (Almost) Everything



Trustfall is a query engine for querying any kind of data source, from APIs and databases

to any kind of files on disk — and even AI models.

## Try Trustfall in your browser



The Trustfall Playground supports running queries against public data sources such as:

- the HackerNews REST APIs: https://play.predr.ag/hackernews

- the rustdoc JSON of top Rust crates: https://play.predr.ag/rustdoc



For example,

shows the results of the HackerNews query: "Which GitHub or Twitter

users are commenting on stories about OpenAI?"



In the Playground, Trustfall is configured to run client-side as WASM, performing

all aspects of query processing (parsing, compilation, and execution) within the browser.

While this demo highlights Trustfall's ability to be embedded within a target application,

it is of course able to be used in a more traditional client-server context as well.



## 10min tech talk + demo



Trustfall was featured in the ["How to Query (Almost) Everything" talk](https://www.hytradboi.com/2022/how-to-query-almost-everything)

talk at the [HYTRADBOI 2022](https://www.hytradboi.com/) conference.



![Terminal recording of running `cargo run --release -- query example_queries/actions_in_repos_with_min_10_hn_pts.ron` in the `demo-hytradboi` demo project. The system returns the first 20 results of the query in 6.36 seconds."](./demo-hytradboi/query-demo.gif)



*Demo from the talk showing the execution of the cross-API query: "Which GitHub Actions are used in projects on the front page of HackerNews with >=10 points?"*



The demo executes the following query across the HackerNews and GitHub APIs and over the YAML-formatted GitHub repository workflow files:

```graphql

{

  HackerNewsTop(max: 200) {

    ... on HackerNewsStory {

      hn_score: score @filter(op: ">=", value: ["$min_score"]) @output



      link {

        ... on GitHubRepository {

          repo_url: url @output



          workflows {

            workflow: name @output

            workflow_path: path @output



            jobs {

              job: name @output



              step {

                ... on GitHubActionsImportedStep {

                  step: name @output

                  action: uses @output

                }

              }

            }

          }

        }

      }

    }

  }

}

```



Instructions for

running the demo are available together with the source code in the

`demo-hytradboi` directory: [link](./demo-hytradboi).



## Examples of querying real-world data with Trustfall



- [HackerNews APIs](./trustfall/examples/hackernews/), including an overview of the query language

  and an example of querying REST APIs.

- [RSS/Atom feeds](./trustfall/examples/feeds/), showing how to query structured data

  like RSS/Atom feeds.

- [airport weather data (METAR)](./trustfall/examples/weather), showing how to query CSV data from

  aviation weather reports.



Trustfall also powers the [`cargo-semver-checks`](https://crates.io/crates/cargo-semver-checks)

semantic versioning linter.

More details on the role Trustfall plays in that use case are available in

[this blog post](https://predr.ag/blog/speeding-up-rust-semver-checking-by-over-2000x/).



## Using Trustfall over a new data source



The easiest way to plug in a new data source is by implementing

[the `BasicAdapter` trait](https://docs.rs/trustfall_core/latest/trustfall_core/interpreter/basic_adapter/trait.BasicAdapter.html).



Python bindings are available, and are built automatically on every change to

the engine; the most recent version may be downloaded

[here](https://github.com/obi1kenobi/trustfall/releases). A getting started

guide for Python is forthcoming ([tracking

issue](https://github.com/obi1kenobi/trustfall/issues/16)); in the meantime, the

best resource is the Python bindings' [test suite](./pytrustfall/trustfall/tests/test_execution.py).



## Directory Registry



- [`trustfall`](./trustfall/) is a façade crate. This is the preferred way to use Trustfall.

- [`trustfall_core`](./trustfall_core/) contains the query engine internals

- [`trustfall_derive`](./trustfall_derive/) defines macros that simplify plugging in data sources.

- [`pytrustfall`](./pytrustfall/) contains Trustfall's Python bindings

- [`trustfall_wasm`](./trustfall_wasm/) is a WASM build of Trustfall

- [`trustfall_filetests_macros`](./trustfall_filetests_macros/) is a procedural

  macro used to generate test cases defined by files: they ensure that the

  function under test, when given an input specified by one file, produces an

  output equivalent to the contents of another file.

- [`experiments`](./experiments/) contains various experimental projects

  such as the [Trustfall web playground](https://play.predr.ag/).
