Write flexible distributed software easier and faster than ever
The new open source query solution for developers
Next milestone after GraphQL and REST API
Fully expressive query and programming language
AskVM provides a secure sandbox environment
A lightweight library with a low memory footprint
Accelerates creating sophisticated programs
AskQL allows you to ask your service any complex question about the data.
Queries are made using AskScript, a simple and fully expressive programming language.
Compared with other popular query languages on the market, AskQL is more versatile and allows developers to create sophisticated programs faster.
In this way it will significantly expedite your workflow.
ask { const sumOfSquares = fun (a:int): int { const square = fun (a:int): int { a*a // equivalent of a:times(a) or times(a, a) } 2:times(a:square) } score :times(3) :plus(1) :toString :call(fun(s) { const double = fun(s:string):string { s:concat(s) } s:double // same as s:double() }) :toInt :sumOfSquares } // for resources: { score: 2 } // result is: 11858
AskQL queries are interpreted on the server side by Ask Virtual Machine, a secure sandbox environment.
AskVM processes each request individually and decides which resources to give access to, based on the schemas and security policies which you define.
AskQL is a lightweight library with a low memory footprint. It is also highly efficient in terms of network latency and systems communication.
AskVM can be installed on devices with very limited memory capabilities, such as microwaves and fridges.
AskQL is available under MIT License on GitHub.
