Version 1.0 of the JavaScript #shacl library shacl-engine is out [1]! There are no breaking changes, only new features, but to indicate that this package is production ready, the version was lifted from 0.x to 1.x. Thanks to the #comunica library [2], support for #sparql constraints was added. Along with that feature, custom validation support was added.

SPARQL support can be enabled with a few lines of code, as described in the README [3]. Only the core validations are enabled out of the box, keeping the bundle size small if you don't need SPARQL support.

SPARQL is just one more unique feature in the JavaScript world of SHACL engines. The coverage report, which makes debugging much easier, is another feature exclusive to the shacl-engine. With a performance boost of factor 15-26x [4][5] compared to the alternative library, rdf-validate-shacl, the performance also becomes a standout feature.

Try it out on the playground, which runs 100% client-side in the browser [6]. Or, if you need something for the command line, try the rdf-ext-cli tool [7].
