This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (rdflib) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Reads and writes RDF/XML, Turtle and N3; Reads RDFa and JSON-LD
Read/Write Linked Data client, using WebDav or SPARQL/Update
Real-Time Collaborative editing with web sockets and PATCHes
Local API for querying a store
Compatible with RDFJS task force spec
SPARQL queries (not full SPARQL - just graph match and optional)
Smushing of nodes from owl:sameAs, and owl:{f,inverseF}unctionProperty
Tracks provenance of triples keeps metadata (in RDF) from HTTP accesses

Install

Browser (using a bundler like Webpack)

npm install rdflib

Browser (generating a `<script>` file to include)

git clone git@github.com:linkeddata/rdflib.js.git;
cd rdflib.js;
npm install;

Generate the dist directory

npm run build:browser

Node.js

Make sure you have Node.js and Node Package Manager (npm) installed.

npm install --save rdflib

Serializer flags

The Turtle/N3/JSON‑LD serializers accept an optional flags string to tweak output formatting and abbreviation behavior.

Pass flags via the options argument to serialize(...):

import { graph, serialize, sym } from 'rdflib'

const kb = graph()
const doc = sym('http://example.com/doc')
// ... add some statements ...

// Example: prevent dotted local parts in prefixed names
const turtle = serialize(doc, kb, doc.value, 'text/turtle', undefined, { flags: 'o' })

Common flags used internally (you can combine them, e.g. 'o k'):

s i – used by default for Turtle to suppress =, => notations
d e i n p r s t u x – used for N-Triples/N-Quads to simplify output
dr – used with JSON‑LD conversion (no default, no relative prefix)
o – new: do not abbreviate to a prefixed name when the local part contains a dot. This keeps IRIs like http://example.org/ns/subject.example in <...> form instead of ns:subject.example.

Notes:

For Turtle and JSON‑LD, user‑provided flags are merged with the defaults so your flags (like o) are honored.
By contrast, passing 'p' disables prefix abbreviations entirely (all terms are written as <...> IRIs).
