Native Python bindings for ArcadeDB (forked from the official Java project).

• Native Python bindings for ArcadeDB with a bundled JRE (no local Java required).
• Wheels for Linux x86_64, Linux ARM64, macOS Apple Silicon, and Windows x86_64.
• Embedded usage (in-process) with optional server mode.
• Tests and examples validated in CI across supported platforms.

The Python bindings and packaging live under bindings/python. The upstream Java project remains the source of the core database.

• bindings/python: Python package source, build scripts, tests, and examples.
• docs site: https://docs.humem.ai/arcadedb/
• CI: Build/test workflows for bindings and examples (badges above).

• Local embedded analytics without a separate server process.
• Vector search and graph workloads from Python.
• Running ArcadeDB in-process for testing or tooling.

• Multi-model database built for performance.

• Document + Graph + Key/Value + Vector + Time Series in one engine.

• Supports SQL, OpenCypher, and MongoDB query language.

• Embedded from any language on top of the Java Virtual Machine

• Embedded from Python via bindings: arcadedb-embedded-python

• Remotely by using HTTP/JSON

• Remotely by using a Postgres driver (ArcadeDB implements Postgres Wire protocol)

• Remotely by using a Redis driver (only a subset of the operations are implemented)

• Remotely by using a MongoDB driver (only a subset of the operations are implemented)

• Lightweight Java 25 runtime (jlink) bundled per platform.

• ArcadeDB JARs required for the embedded engine.

• Python bindings and source modules.

• Multi-model: Graph, Document, Key/Value, Vector, Time Series.
• Query languages: SQL, OpenCypher, MongoDB.
• ACID transactions and high performance.
