There is a draft for rdf-json here : http://n2.talis.com/wiki/RDF_JSON_Specification So it may be possible to store rdf as json and then using _show & _list to format the output you need. If you need sparql endpoint it may be build via an external I guess or even a proxy. I'm currently explorating both. The only problem I have currently is that' you can't query document per field. I'm somehow missing json query and json path for that . - benoît
