NAME

RDF::Trine::Parser - RDF Parser class

VERSION

This document describes RDF::Trine::Parser version 0.124_02

SYNOPSIS

use RDF::Trine::Parser;

RDF::Trine::Parser->parse_url_into_model( $url, $model );

my $parser	= RDF::Trine::Parser->new( 'turtle' );
$parser->parse_into_model( $base_uri, $rdf, $model );

$parser->parse_file_into_model( $base_uri, 'data.ttl', $model );

DESCRIPTION

RDF::Trine::Parser is a base class for RDF parsers. It may be used as a factory class for constructing parser objects by name or media type with the new method, or used to abstract away the logic of choosing a parser based on the media type of RDF content retrieved over the network with the parse_url_into_model method.

METHODS

new ( $parser_name, @args )

Returns a new RDF::Trine::Parser object for the parser with the specified name (e.g. "rdfxml" or "turtle"). If no parser with the specified name is found, throws a RDF::Trine::Error::ParserError exception.

Any @args will be passed through to the format-specific parser constructor.

If @args contains the key-value pair (canonicalize => 1), literal value canonicalization will be attempted during parsing with warnings being emitted for invalid lexical forms for recognized datatypes.

parse_url_into_model ( $url, $model [, %args] )

Retrieves the content from $url and attempts to parse the resulting RDF into $model using a parser chosen by the associated content media type.

parse_into_model ( $base_uri, $data, $model [, context => $context] )

Parses the $data, using the given $base_uri. For each RDF statement parsed, will call $model->add_statement( $statement ).

parse_file_into_model ( $base_uri, $fh, $model [, context => $context] )

Parses all data read from the filehandle $fh, using the given $base_uri. For each RDF statement parsed, will call $model->add_statement( $statement ).

parse_file ( $base, $fh, $handler )

parse ( $base_uri, $rdf, \&handler )

parse_into_model ( $base_uri, $data, $model )

canonicalize_literal_value ( $string, $datatype )

If $datatype is a recognized datatype, returns the canonical lexical representation of the value $string. Otherwise returns $string.

Currently, xsd:integer, xsd:decimal, and xsd:boolean are canonicalized. Additionaly, invalid lexical forms for xsd:float, xsd:double, and xsd:dateTime will trigger a warning.
