Sophia

A Rust toolkit for RDF and Linked Data.

It comprises the following crates:

• [sophia_api] defines a generic API for RDF and linked data, as a set of core traits and types; more precisely, it provides traits for describing
  • terms, triples and quads,
  • graphs and datasets,
  • parsers and serializers
• [sophia_iri] provides functions, types and traits for validating and resolving IRIs.
• [sophia_inmem] defines in-memory implementations of the Graph and Dataset traits from sophia_api.
• [sophia_term] defines various implementations of the Term trait from sophia_api.
• [sophia_turtle] provides parsers and serializers for the Turtle-family of concrete syntaxes.
• [sophia_xml] provides parsers and serializers for RDF/XML.
• [sophia_jsonld] provides preliminary support for JSON-LD.
• [sophia_c14n] implements [RDF canonicalization].
• [sophia_resource] provides a resource-centric API.
• [sophia_rio] is a lower-level crate, used by the ones above.

and finally: * [sophia] is the “all-inclusive” crate, re-exporting symbols from all the crates above. (actually, sophia_xml is only available if the xml feature is enabled)

Licence

[CECILL-B] (compatible with BSD)

Testing

The test suite depends on the [the [JSON-LD test-suite] which is included as a git submodule. In order to run all the tests, you need to execute the following commands: bash $ git submodule init $ git submodule update
