NAME
RDF::Trine::Iterator - Stream (iterator) class for SPARQL query results
VERSION
This document describes RDF::Trine::Iterator version 0.125_01.
SYNOPSIS
use RDF::Trine::Iterator;
my $iterator = RDF::Trine::Iterator->new( \&data, 'bindings', \@names );
while (my $row = $iterator->next) {
my @vars = keys %$row;
# do something with @vars
}
METHODS
new ( \@results, $type, \@names, %args )
new ( \&results, $type, \@names, %args )
-
Returns a new SPARQL Result interator object. Results must be either an reference to an array containing results or a CODE reference that acts as an iterator, returning successive items when called, and returning undef when the iterator is exhausted.
$type should be one of: bindings, boolean, graph.
type
-
Returns the underlying result type (boolean, graph, bindings).
is_boolean
-
Returns true if the underlying result is a boolean value.
is_bindings
-
Returns true if the underlying result is a set of variable bindings.
is_graph
-
Returns true if the underlying result is an RDF graph.
to_string ( $format )
-
Returns a string representation of the stream data in the specified
$format
. If$format
is missing, defaults to XML serialization. Other options are:http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/DataAccess/json-sparql/
from_string ( $xml )
-
Returns a new iterator using the supplied XML in the SPARQL XML Results format.
next
next_result
-
Returns the next item in the stream.
peek
-
Returns the next value from the iterator without consuming it. The value will remain in queue until the next call to
next
. current
-
Returns the current item in the stream.
end
finished
-
Returns true if the end of the stream has been reached, false otherwise.
open
-
Returns true if the first element of the stream has been retrieved, false otherwise.
close
-
Closes the stream. Future attempts to retrieve data from the stream will act as if the stream had been exhausted.
concat ( $stream )
-
Returns a new stream resulting from the concatenation of the referant and the argument streams. The new stream uses the stream type, and optional binding names and
<%args
> from the referant stream. count
-
Returns the number of objects returned from this iterator.
get_boolean
-
Returns the boolean value of the first item in the stream.
get_all
-
Returns an array containing all the items in the stream.
construct_args
-
Returns the arguments necessary to pass to a stream constructor to re-create this stream (assuming the same closure as the first argument).
add_extra_result_data ( $tag, \%data )
extra_result_data
