In-Memory Subgraph Matching: An In-depth Study

Summary: Eight in-memory subgraph-matchers are compared in a common framework across filtering, ordering, enumeration, and optimizations. Findings: GraphQL filtering is competitive; RI ordering is strong; DP-iso pruning helps large queries; code available. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
