JackSON

JackSON is a lightweight server and Javascript API that will create/POST, retrieve/GET, update/PUT, and delete/DELETE JSON files RESTfully.

JackSON will also convert JSON-LD files to Fuseki served RDF automatically using JackRDF

It was designed specifically for rapidly prototyping linked-data web applications with save and search capabilities.
