This crate provides traits for reading and writing
Statements and Graphs as well as implementations of these for common representations.
The following are some well-known formats (see Wikipedia
for a description of different serializations), support is indicated in the final column with
an R for read support and W for write support. One additional module, dot allows for the
creation of GraphViz dot files for a visualization of a graph's structure.
| Module | Name | MIME Type | R/W |
|---|---|---|---|

| TBD | Binary RDF Representation for Publication and Exchange (HDT) | N/A | |
| TBD | RDF Binary using Apache Thrift | application/x-binary-rdf |
|

Each module will also provide public constants NAME, FILE_EXTENSION, and MIME_TYPE.
An example, reading an existing NTriple file.
use rdftk_io::nt::reader::NTriplesReader;
use rdftk_io::GraphReader;
use rdftk_memgraph::simple::graph_factory;
use std::fs::File;
use std::path::PathBuf;
let file_path = PathBuf::from("tests/w3c/nt/literal.nt");
let mut file = File::open(file_path).unwrap();
let reader = NTriplesReader::default();
let graph = reader.read(&mut file, graph_factory()).unwrap();Version 0.2.1
- Added JSON reader.
Version 0.2.0
- Updated rdftk_core dependency to 0.3.0, this is a significant API change.
- All read operations require a graph factory now.
Version 0.1.9
- Added unicode escape handling into the IRI parsing.
- All W3C test cases for NTriples now passing.
- Removed local error module, using core error types now.
Version 0.1.8
- Using new style interfaces, a consistent use of traits and trait reference types.
- Have a working NTriple parser.
Version 0.1.7
- Using rdftk_core 0.2, this has changes in the signature of both Graph and DataSet traits.
- This results in changes to both GraphWriter and DataSetWriter traits.
- Applied a lot more warnings in lib.rs
- Fixed resulting Clippy suggestions.
Version 0.1.6
- Made all modules have separate reader/writer sub-modules.
- Put all modules behind features.
- Added JSON writer.
- Re-write NQuad writer to write datasets.
- Re-wrote NTripe writer to use NQuad writer.
- Fixed formatting in Turtle writer.
- Added XML writer.
Version 0.1.5
- Internal change to use
StatementRef.
Version 0.1.4
- API changes in core crate:
- Altered
PrefixMappings::compressandPrefixMappings::expandto take references.
- Altered
Version 0.1.2
- Made all
IRIintoIRIRef.
Version 0.1.1
- Made all local dependencies only major/minor valued.
Version 0.1.0
- First release.
- Provides write support only for N-Triples, N-Quads, and GraphViz.
- The core; N-Triples, N-Quads, N3, and Turtle need read and write support.
- The extended core; RDF/XML, JSON-LD, and RDFa need read and write support.
- The rest; RDF/JSON, TriG, HDT, and BinaryRDF will be implemended as needed.
