OCFL-Index: an API for accessing OCFL repositories
OCFL-index is a project to define and implement a lightweight http/gRPC-based API for indexing and accessing the contents of OCFL-based repositories. It can serve content from OCFL storage roots on the local file system or in the cloud. The index is implemented as a sqlite3 database, however additional database backends are planned. The API is implemented in Go and client libraries for a variety of programming languages can be auto-generated using protocol buffer service definitions. This poster provides an overview of the current project status, including its goals, design decisions, and recent benchmarks.
