 This collection of libraries aims to provide the full stack of utilities for fast and scalable RDF streaming with the [Jelly protocol](https://github.com/Jelly-RDF/specification).

 ## Development status
-The libraries are in active (alpha) development and **are not yet stable**. Expect a first stable release in Q4 2023.
