Overview

This class is abstract.

The base class for RDF parsers.

Examples:

Loading an RDF reader implementation

require 'rdf/ntriples'

Iterating over known RDF reader classes

RDF::Reader.each { |klass| puts klass.name }

Obtaining an RDF reader class

RDF::Reader.for(:ntriples)     #=> RDF::NTriples::Reader
RDF::Reader.for("etc/doap.nt")
RDF::Reader.for(:file_name      => "etc/doap.nt")
RDF::Reader.for(:file_extension => "nt")
RDF::Reader.for(:content_type   => "text/plain")

Instantiating an RDF reader class

RDF::Reader.for(:ntriples).new($stdin) { |reader| ... }

Parsing RDF statements from a file

RDF::Reader.open("etc/doap.nt") do |reader|
  reader.each_statement do |statement|
    puts statement.inspect
  end
end

Parsing RDF statements from a string

data = StringIO.new(File.read("etc/doap.nt"))
RDF::Reader.for(:ntriples).new(data) do |reader|
  reader.each_statement do |statement|
    puts statement.inspect
  end
end

Constructor Details

#initialize(input = $stdin, options = {}) {|reader| ... } ⇒ Reader

Initializes the reader.

Parameters:

  • input (IO, File, String) (defaults to: $stdin)

    the input stream to read

  • options (Hash{Symbol => Object}) (defaults to: {})

    any additional options

Options Hash (options):

  • :encoding (Encoding) — default: Encoding::UTF_8

    the encoding of the input stream (Ruby 1.9+)

  • :validate (Boolean) — default: false

    whether to validate the parsed statements and values

  • :canonicalize (Boolean) — default: false

    whether to canonicalize parsed literals

  • :intern (Boolean) — default: true

    whether to intern all parsed URIs

  • :prefixes (Hash) — default: Hash.new

    the prefix mappings to use (not supported by all readers)

  • :base_uri (#to_s) — default: nil

    the base URI to use when resolving relative URIs (not supported by all readers)

Yields:

  • (reader)

    ‘self`

Yield Parameters:

Yield Returns:

  • (void)

Class Method Details

.each {|klass| ... } ⇒ Enumerator

Enumerates known RDF reader classes.

Yields:

  • (klass)

Yield Parameters:

  • klass (Class)

.for(format) ⇒ Class .for(filename) ⇒ Class .for(options = {}) ⇒ Class

Finds an RDF reader class based on the given criteria.

If the reader class has a defined format, use that.

Overloads:

  • .for(format) ⇒ Class

    Finds an RDF reader class based on a symbolic name.

    Parameters:

    • format (Symbol)

    Returns:

    • (Class)
  • .for(filename) ⇒ Class

    Finds an RDF reader class based on a file name.

    Parameters:

    • filename (String)

    Returns:

    • (Class)
  • .for(options = {}) ⇒ Class

    Finds an RDF reader class based on various options.

    Parameters:

    • options (Hash{Symbol => Object}) (defaults to: {})

    Options Hash (options):

    • :file_name (String, #to_s) — default: nil
    • :file_extension (Symbol, #to_sym) — default: nil
    • :content_type (String, #to_s) — default: nil
    • :sample (String) — default: nil

      A sample of input used for performing format detection. If we find no formats, or we find more than one, and we have a sample, we can perform format detection to find a specific format to use, in which case we pick the first one we find

    Yield Returns:

    • (String)

      another way to provide a sample, allows lazy for retrieving the sample.

    Returns:

    • (Class)
