available_formats() :: [format()]

The list of all available RDF.Serialization.Formats 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

format(String.t() | atom()) :: format() | nil

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

format_by_extension(String.t()) :: format() | nil

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

format_by_media_type(String.t()) :: format() | nil

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.Formats 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 Elixir File.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 being the deserialized graph or dataset, or {:error, reason} if an error occurs.

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.

Please refer to the documentation of the decoder of a RDF serialization format for format-specific options.

Specs

read_stream!(Enumerable.t(), keyword()) :: RDF.Graph.t() | RDF.Dataset.t()

Deserializes a graph or dataset from a stream.

As opposed to read_stream/2, it raises an exception if an error occurs.

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.

Please refer to the documentation of the decoder of a RDF serialization format for format-specific options.

Specs

read_string(String.t(), keyword()) ::
  {:ok, RDF.Graph.t() | RDF.Dataset.t()} | {:error, any()}

Deserializes a graph or dataset from a string.

It returns an {:ok, data} tuple, with data being the deserialized graph or dataset, or {:error, reason} if an error occurs.

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.

Please refer to the documentation of the decoder of a RDF serialization format for format-specific options.

Specs

read_string!(String.t(), keyword()) :: RDF.Graph.t() | RDF.Dataset.t()

Deserializes a graph or dataset from a string.

As opposed to read_string/2, it raises an exception if an error occurs.

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.

Please refer to the documentation of the decoder of a RDF serialization format for format-specific options.

Specs

write_file(RDF.Data.t(), Path.t(), keyword()) :: :ok | {:error, any()}

Serializes a RDF data structure to a file.

It returns :ok if successful 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 writing the serialized data to the file directly via a stream. Possible values: :string or :iodata for writing to the file with a stream of strings respective IO lists, true if you want to use streams, but don't care for the exact method or false for not writing with a stream (default: false on this function, :iodata on the bang version)
• :gzip: Allows to write directly to a gzipped file (default: false)
• :force: If not set to true, an error is raised when the given file already exists (default: false)
• :file_mode: A list with the Elixir File.open modes to be used for writing (default: [:write, :exclusive])

Please refer to the documentation of the encoder of a RDF serialization format for format-specific options.

Specs

write_file!(RDF.Data.t(), Path.t(), keyword()) :: :ok
