RDF.Serialization (RDF.ex v0.9.1) View Source
Functions for working with RDF serializations generically.
Besides some reflection functions regarding available serialization formats,
this module includes the full serialization reader and writer API from the
serialization format modules.
As opposed to calling the reader and writer functions statically on the
serialization format module, they can be used more dynamically on this module
either by providing the format by name or media type with the :format
option
or in the case of the read and write function on files by relying on detection
of the format by file extension.

available_formats() :: [format()]
The list of all available RDF.Serialization.Format
s in an application.
A known format might not be available in an application, when the format is implemented in an external library and this not specified as a Mix dependency of this application.
Examples
iex> RDF.Serialization.available_formats
[RDF.Turtle, RDF.NTriples, RDF.NQuads]
Specs
Returns the RDF.Serialization.Format
with the given name, if available.
Examples
iex> RDF.Serialization.format(:turtle)
RDF.Turtle
iex> RDF.Serialization.format("turtle")
RDF.Turtle
iex> RDF.Serialization.format(:jsonld)
nil # unless json_ld is defined as a dependency of the application
Specs
Returns the proper RDF.Serialization.Format
for the given file extension, if available.
Examples
iex> RDF.Serialization.format_by_extension("ttl")
RDF.Turtle
iex> RDF.Serialization.format_by_extension(".ttl")
RDF.Turtle
iex> RDF.Serialization.format_by_extension("jsonld")
nil # unless json_ld is defined as a dependency of the application
Specs
Returns the RDF.Serialization.Format
with the given media type, if available.
Examples
iex> RDF.Serialization.format_by_media_type("text/turtle")
RDF.Turtle
iex> RDF.Serialization.format_by_media_type("application/ld+json")
nil # unless json_ld is defined as a dependency of the application
Specs
formats() :: [format()]
The list of all known RDF.Serialization.Format
s in the RDF.ex eco-system.
Note: Not all known formats might be available to an application, see available_formats/0
.
Examples
iex> RDF.Serialization.formats
[RDF.Turtle, JSON.LD, RDF.NTriples, RDF.NQuads, RDF.XML]
Specs
read_file(Path.t(), keyword()) :: {:ok, RDF.Graph.t() | RDF.Dataset.t()} | {:error, any()}
Deserializes a graph or dataset from a file.
It returns an {:ok, data}
tuple, with data
being the deserialized graph or
dataset, or {:error, reason}
if an error occurs.
Options
The format can be specified with the format
option and a format name or the
media_type
option and the media type of the format. If none of these are
given, the format gets inferred from the extension of the given file name.
Other available serialization-independent options:
:stream
: Allows to enable reading the data from a file directly via a stream (default:false
on this function,true
on the bang version):gzip
: Allows to read directly from a gzipped file (default:false
):file_mode
: A list with the ElixirFile.open
modes to be used for reading (default:[:read, :utf8]
)
Please refer to the documentation of the decoder of a RDF serialization format for format-specific options.
Specs
read_file!(Path.t(), keyword()) :: RDF.Graph.t() | RDF.Dataset.t()
Deserializes a graph or dataset from a file.
As opposed to read_file/2
, it raises an exception if an error occurs and
defaults to stream: true
.
The format can be specified with the format
option and a format name or the
media_type
option and the media type of the format. If none of these are
given, the format gets inferred from the extension of the given file name.
See read_file/3
for the available format-independent options.
Please refer to the documentation of the decoder of a RDF serialization format for format-specific options.
Specs
read_stream(Enumerable.t(), keyword()) :: {:ok, RDF.Graph.t() | RDF.Dataset.t()} | {:error, any()}
Deserializes a graph or dataset from a stream.
It returns an {:ok, data}
tuple, with data

The format must be specified with the format
option and a format name or the
media_type
option and the media type of the format.

on this function,:iodata
