## AI interpretation — verify before relying

RDFLib is a pure Python library for parsing, querying, and serializing RDF data in multiple formats (RDF/XML, Turtle, N-Triples, JSON-LD, and others), with built-in SPARQL 1.1 support and pluggable storage backends.

Verdict: RDFLib is a mature, actively maintained library with no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and permissive licensing. It is well-suited for production use in semantic web and linked data applications. The 7.6.0 release is stable and supports current Python versions (3.8–3.14).
