Overview

This class is abstract.

The base class for RDF serializers.

Examples:

Loading an RDF writer implementation

require 'rdf/ntriples'

Iterating over known RDF writer classes

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

Obtaining an RDF writer class

RDF::Writer.for(:ntriples)     #=> RDF::NTriples::Writer
RDF::Writer.for("spec/data/output.nt")
RDF::Writer.for(file_name:      "spec/data/output.nt")
RDF::Writer.for(file_extension: "nt")
RDF::Writer.for(content_type:   "application/n-triples")

Instantiating an RDF writer class

RDF::Writer.for(:ntriples).new($stdout) { |writer| ... }

Serializing RDF statements into a file

RDF::Writer.open("spec/data/output.nt") do |writer|
  graph.each_statement do |statement|
    writer << statement
  end
end

Serializing RDF statements into a string

RDF::Writer.for(:ntriples).buffer do |writer|
  graph.each_statement do |statement|
    writer << statement
  end
end

Detecting invalid output

logger = Logger.new([])
RDF::Writer.for(:ntriples).buffer(logger: logger) do |writer|
  statement = RDF::Statement.new(
    RDF::URI("https://rubygems.org/gems/rdf"),
    RDF::URI("http://purl.org/dc/terms/creator"),
    nil)
  writer << statement
end # => RDF::WriterError
logger.empty? => false

Constructor Details

#initialize(output = $stdout, **options) {|writer| ... } ⇒ Writer

Initializes the writer.

Parameters:

  • output (IO, File) (defaults to: $stdout) —

    the output stream

  • options (Hash{Symbol => Object}) —

    any additional options

Options Hash (**options):

  • :encoding (Encoding, String, Symbol) —

    the encoding to use on the output stream. Defaults to the format associated with content_encoding.

  • :canonicalize (Boolean) — default: false —

    whether to canonicalize terms when serializing

  • :validate (Boolean) — default: false —

    whether to validate terms when serializing

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

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

  • :base_uri (#to_s) — default: nil —

    the base URI to use when constructing relative URIs (not supported by all writers)

  • :unique_bnodes (Boolean) — default: false —

    Use unique Node identifiers, defaults to using the identifier which the node was originall initialized with (if any). Implementations should ensure that Nodes are serialized using a unique representation independent of any identifier used when creating the node. See NTriples::Writer#format_node

  • :accept_params (Hash{Symbol => String}) —

    Parameters from ACCEPT header entry for the media-range matching this writer.

Yields:

  • (writer) —

    self

Yield Parameters:

Yield Returns:

  • (void)

Class Method Details

.accept?(accept_params) {|accept_params| ... } ⇒ Boolean

Use parameters from accept-params to determine if the parameters are acceptable to invoke this writer. The accept_params will subsequently be provided to the writer instance.

Examples:

rejecting a writer based on a profile

JSON::LD::Writer.accept?(profile: "http://www.w3.org/ns/json-ld#compacted http://example.org/black-listed")
  # => false

Parameters:

  • accept_params (Hash{Symbol => String})

Yields:

  • (accept_params) —

    if a block is given, returns the result of evaluating that block

Yield Parameters:

  • accept_params (Hash{Symbol => String})

Returns:

  • (Boolean)
