Dgraph DQL Tour

Introduction

Now that a schema has been loaded, it’s time to load some data. Press the run button again and check that the response panel indicates the data was loaded successfully.

Don’t worry about the syntax for now, it will be explained later.

You can load the same example data using JSON format. You’re able to do that through our clients, cURL or Ratel UI.

See the JSON:

The JSON example may end up helping you better understand the format in RDF.
